The Edinburgh Love Tour

Chas. Early and Richard Hurst's latest play will appear on the streets of Edinburgh this summer.

The course of true love never did run smooth...
Walk back to happiness, through the romantic streets of Edinburgh. Your guides: a lovingly married couple who are really in love. Really.
A dramatic adventure to warm the cockles of your heart, whilst exercising it.
A moving new play by Richard Hurst & Chas Early.

The Edinburgh Love Tour is one of The Observer's top ten recommendations for the Fringe.

The Telegraph reviewed it as follows:

The Edinburgh Love Tour has more modest ambitions, but is based on a brilliantly simple idea. The audience is met at the Pleasance Courtyard by a married couple, "Rosemary" and "Stephen", their guides on a walk around Edinburgh's romantic spots, which had signficance in their own courtship.
Thus they spin tales of loyalty and love about Robert Burns, Greyfriars Bobby and others. But, as the tour progresses, it's Rosemary and Stephen's story that intrigues. Gradually, the audience become unintentional voyeurs to the breakdown of a marriage; it's cringe-worthy and extremely funny at the same time.
The couple openly row in public, and it's uncertain whether casual passers-by and even other audience members are the real thing, or part of the act.
The Love Tour's writers, Richard Hurst and Chas Early, are surely on to something here. One can imagine this idea being franchised to suit any British city with a rich history.

Tickets are available from the Pleasance.
