PPP: Miss Lockwood Isn’t Well
★★★☆☆ Patchy
Miss Lockwood Isn’t Well by James Reilly, the last of the Spring season of Òran Mór’s Play, A Pie and A Pint productions at the Traverse, is an intriguing comedy that contains some moments which misfire.

★★★☆☆ Homely
Twenty years on from its first television outing, Still Game has enough followers to pack out theatres, as could be seen from the record-breaking runs of the stage adaptations at the Hydro. Indeed, there was a play before there was ever a television version. So a theatre event featuring the cast would seem to be a no-brainer.
Bingo!
★★★☆☆ Energetic:
A musical about women at the bingo would seem a natural for a warm-hearted, reassuringly couthy comedy. Instead, Bingo! ends up as a much swearier, somewhat darker affair that provides entertainment but is let down by its structure.
Review – The Sash
The play is old but its themes are not beautiful; their colours far from fine.
Rapture’s revival of Hector MacMillan’s play about Scotland’s sectarianism feels like watching the opening of an old and ugly wound.
