Cockburn Street

'Elvis'

Here, two performers from the street theatre in the High Street take a Sunday morning walk up Cockburn Street after finishing their street theatre.

The legend on the back of the girl's T-shirt reads "Elvis Hates Me".

I know that the girl is a nurse, having seen her perform in the High Street, near St Giles Church, about half an hour before I took this photo. 

She'd run she ran around the crowd in the street shouting:

"Help!  We need a nurse!  We need a nurse!
There's a dead Elvis on stage.
Oh!  -  I'm a nurse!"

Then she went on stage to revive the 'Dead Elvis'.

There were in fact two 'Elvis's in the street performance in the High Street:
