There’s something reassuringly old-fashioned about this show – it has an actual story to tell, the people are believable, and it’s set a long time ago. The tunes are old-fashioned – these are all pluses in my book. The country feel is perfect for the small-town setting and the small band, under the brilliant Hilary Brooks, are spot on.

The post-grad Musical Theatre students of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama make up the excellent all-singing cast, with Nicole Rowley – a particularly watchable (and listenable) leading lady – the jail-bird trying to start a new life.

This musical will break no barriers, but its roots in myth and story-telling are noble. I loved it.
