Kirkcaldy theatre group’s hit Fringe show returns to town venue
A Kirkcaldy based theatre group is bringing its hit Fringe show to the Lang Toun.
Kingdom Theatre Company is staging its 1960s musical, Helen Shapiro Walkin’ Back, at the Adam Smith Theatre on September 19.
The charity theatre company was part of the opening gala performances at the theatre in September 2023 following refurbishment work. This time the full extended show comes to the intimacy of the Beveridge Suite.
With original songs and classic hits, the stage musical follows the early career of Shapiro who had three top three hits and had The Beatles as her support band on tour while still aged 15. Starring as the young Helen, 15-year-old Lily B Martin from Inverkeithing High School has had some rave reviews for her role. Already well experienced with shows in Fife and the West End she is returning to the role which enjoyed sold out runs at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2024 and 2025 as well as Dundee Fringe. This year it returns to the Fringe for eight shows only.
The newly extended show also features 15-year-old Aaron Rickman as John Lennon singing and playing live, and three young backing singers from the Dalgety Players amateur theatre group. Tickets from OnFife.com
