“A Wee Touch O’ Class”, written by Rikki Fulton, was very loosely adapted into Scots from Moliere’s “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme”. The play is set in the New Town of Edinburgh, when it was new and fashionable. Erchie Jenner, a wealthy, retired businessman, of very humble origins, has moved into the New Town. His ambition is to be accepted into High Society and there is great comedy in his attempts to acquire “culture”. Frustrated young lovers, a devious scrounging nobleman, an illicit rendezvous with a lady which backfires with hilarious results, all combine to bring Erchie back down to earth. There are lots of comic characters in this farcical comedy, which will delight Fringe audiences. 

“A Wee Touch O’ Class” will be presented by Leitheatre, at St Serf’s Hall, Clark Road (off Ferry Road) Goldenacre, Edinburgh, from Saturday 2^nd August to Saturday 16^th August (Not Sundays) nightly at 7.30pm, with the exception of Saturday 16^th August, when there will be a matinee at 2.30pm, and no evening show.
