Meet the Wilsons, five children, three with red hair, who came to Scotland in 1959. The redheads, Iain, Heather and Allan, developed cancer in their 50s. There will be sadness and laughter as Allan tells their story. This show will move you and intrigue you about possible connections between cancer and red hair. If you love Mark Thomas, Bryony Kimmings and the NHS, we are sure you’ll also enjoy Red Alert - Cancer!

'With the unspoken message that cancer is normal: live with it, this is as close to the heart of the fringe’s founding open-access ethos as you could want. It is no vanity project, nor is it therapy. It is the story of the life we all live.' All Edinburgh Theatre

'That’s the beauty of the Fringe really. And though this may well be the most reserved and simple Fringe show one may see this year – the one with the most time and thought put into it. And while the polish of a seasoned actor may be remised, the sincerity is what Wilson possesses to maintain control and affection from the audience.' Corr Blimey
