Producer Bill Kenwright is behind a new historical musical entitled Jeanie Skye (formerly MacGregor's Trap, which has been likened to West End longrunner Les Miserables. While Les Mis was adapted from Victor Hugo's classic novel of the same name, the new piece has been loosely based on Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped. It chronicles a love triangle in 18th-century Edinburgh, where Kenwright is reportedly hoping to premiere the stage show in 2002. Jeanie Skye features music and lyrics by Brian Spence and is directed by Bob Thomson. An early version of the musical was staged at the 1995 Edinburgh Festival, with former pop star Chesney Hawkes in the cast. The updated piece will feature a 15-strong company, which has not yet been cast.
