About this Event
The warehouse is normally a quiet place where the statues of Edinburgh can rest. But the arrival of a new tenant and some shady characters means that The Great Lafayette, Sherlock Holmes, Cowboy Joe and others can no longer stay in their sculpted poses.
They must confront the question of who best represents Edinburgh whilst protecting their secret at all costs.
Devised by the cast, written by Duncan Kidd and directed by Gavin Crichton
The fully licensed Drill Hall Arts Cafe will be open 30 minutes before each performance.

Part of Characters of Edinburgh - a community festival that invites us to imagine the Edinburgh we want to live in and how we want our city to be represented to the world.
Since September 2025, members of Active Inquiry’s Flashback Drama Company have been exploring well-known and less well-known characters of Edinburgh. They have created a play and an exhibition to share this research and ask what we think is the essential character of our city.
Please note that online ticket sales will end at 4pm on Saturday 14th March.
