Up the Doon is A hilarious and heart-warming new comedy written for television and set on Burns "banks an braes o bonnie Doon". It features Alec Gourlay, a retired coal miner, who was abandoned on Smilers mothers doorstep when he was four, clutching a tin of condensed milk and a note which read, "Look after my wee boy, whoever you are, for I cannot afford to, and a new world bekkons. Yours truly, anonymous. P.S. Excuse spelling." Sixty years later the unexpected arrival of a long-lost sibling turns Alecs [and Smilers] world upside down.

A comedy for the stage. Twins meet after a separation that has lasted seventy years, and their worlds are turned upside down. Wilma copes, up to a point. Alec has never known whether the sun goes round the earth or the other way round, and has never cared. All he wants is a day that starts and ends with just getting older. It's not going to happen.
