Deacon Brodie is based on a true story and the production is packed with its deceit, love, laughs, theft and some great contemporary songs. The local cast take on the controversial tale with an eager passion and energy for this likeable Edinburgh rogue. Deacon Brodie will be staged from 8pm to 9pm and tickets can be bought online here.
