TAG Theatre Company

Yellow Moon (The Ballad of Leila and Lee)

Traverse Theatre
Cambridge Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED

BOX OFFICE: 0131 228 1404

Written specially for TAG by David Greig, this modern slice of gangster mythology took audiences and critics by storm when it premiered last year. In August Yellow Moon comes to Edinburgh for the very first time.

Yellow Moon is a modern Bonnie and Clyde tale that follows the fortunes of two teenagers on the run. Silent Leila is an introverted girl who has a passion for celebrity magazines. Stag Lee Macalinden is the deadest of dead end kids in a dead end town. They never meant to get mixed up in a murder...but shit happens and now they need a place to hide.

The play follows Leila and Lee on their rollercoaster quest to find out who they really are. Yellow Moon explores what it means to live in a celebrity-obsessed world and what it is that defines who you are when you're 17 years old.
