Dundas Street had a 1930s feel to it this lunchtime as young people made their way uphill  in a variety of retro styles.

What with the taut ping of elastic braces, the heady scent of Brylcream, the rustling of nylons and the glistening splotches of liberally applied lipstick – some of the thespians recoiled in horror at the sight of your extravagantly turned-out Spurtle photographer advancing upon them.

The group were members of the Pleasance's own theatre company, part of a cast of forty converging on the venue for an afternoon performance of Soho Storeys. A jazz romance, it is, apparently, a 'champagne of a production' (Edinburgh Guide.com) and a 'smash hit show' (completely objective production flyer).[img_assist|nid=1019|title=|desc=|link=node|align=right|width=200|height=143]
