The band – who clocked up more than 600 appearances in a 10-year residency at Liverpool’s legendary Cavern Club – brilliantly exude the inner and outer spirit of the original Fab Four.

Throughout two unforgettable hours, they take the audience on a fabulous ride through the ‘mop top’ hits of Beatlemania, the psychedelic creativity of Sgt Pepper to the melodic wonder and energy of the Fab Four’s later work.

In Edinburgh Between 1827 and 1828 science and murder cling together in a dance of death. Sixteen people are slaughtered by Burke and Hare and the devil and all his works prowls the streets of 'Auld Reekie'. Dr Robert Knox, scientist, doctor and anatomist supreme, waits in Surgeons Square to  buy bodies for the sake of advancing medical knowledge.

His door is chapped, a body is delivered, money is paid and no questions are asked. A trail of terror leads from West Port to the dissection table of Robert Knox.  Murder will out and a price must be paid, even by the anatomist supreme. Doctor Knox will have to pay that price.

"A thought-provoking performance...the play was brilliantly acted...Bravo Isosceles!  A superb show, highly recommended." - Dumfries and Galloway Life Magazine

' I go to a lot of theatre and this play and these actors are as good as anything I have seen at the RSC.'

' We enjoyed your play so much - a fascinating story, brilliantly delivered.'

' It was great - two fabulous actors revealing the misfortunes of Edinburgh's 'unknown' as told by Knox's assistants.'

' A terrific evening. I was gripped from beginning to end .'

CHAMELEON LADY were formed at school near Edinburgh by childhood friends Robbie Hutchison and Cameron Middlemass.

After the usual revolving door members for a year, they eventually recruited their siblings from Uni to settle on a stable line-up of creative multi-instrumentalists and extraordinary vocalists.

A period of development took place as CHAMELEON LADY experimented as songwriters, performers and producers. As a live band, they got their act together by playing music bars, soon becoming match-fit for festivals around Scotland and France, as well as self-promoted sell-out gigs in response to their growing fan base. Pre-pandemic, the band appeared on the same festival bills as The Darkness, The Noisettes and supported Skerryvore at the Tivoli Theatre in Aberdeen at Hogmanay 2019.

During lockdown, CHAMELEON LADY began writing their newest material. At the first opportunity, the band got in the same room, refined, arranged and recorded this lockdown inspired material and released it as an EP called '11 Waverley Road'. The band has received a great reception to their fresh sound with online streams and energetic audiences at live performances.

CHAMELEON LADY now have a brand-new single 'Beasts Down Below'. The song follows in the same vein as their recently released EP but taps into their Scottish roots with a blasting folk-rock instrumental section that is sure to encourage a toe-tap at the very least.
