The plight of a small Ayrshire community will be brought to life on stage at Glasgow's Mitchell Theatre.
A group of musicians from Kilmarnock have self-funded and produced Pylon - a play exploring a scandal which saw families ripped apart by cancer.
The theatre show centres around the early 90s conspiracy that electricity pylons were to blame for high cancer rates in the area.

The play will be coming to Glasgow after two sold-out shows in their hometown and a showcase at the Theatre Royal in London.
All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Beatson Cancer Charity.
Pylon is told through the eyes of the main character Davie McFarlane and how searching for the answers affected him and his community.
Graeme Cameron, Paul Montgomery, Steven Smith and Paul Milligan spent almost two years writing the script and music for the show.
Paul, who plays the lead character David McFarlane, said: "It's hard to put it to words how much Pylon means to us.
"We all work full time in addition to the thousands of hours we've put in to this.

"There are no Theatre professionals involved and we've had zero funding, but we believe we are doing something unique.
"It's a story very close to our hearts because we're telling the stories of people we know.
"This is not musical theatre, we don't come from that background.
"We have played in guitar bands all our life so the music in Pylon isn't typical of what you would hear in a normal theatre show.
"We use a mixture of music storytelling and cinematography to take our audience down a creative rabbit hole."

Graeme, who is from Shortlees where the play is set, funded Pylon using his own money, said: "This has never been about money for us, this is about telling a working class story that we feel connected to and for that reason we have decided to donate all the profits from this show to the Beatson Cancer Charity."
Pylon will be coming to Glasgow's Mitchell Theatre on September 15.
