New Celts
Things To Do in Mull
★★★☆☆ Humorous
Things To Do In Mull from Agree to Disagree Theatre and New Celts, at theSpace on the Mile, makes up for in charm for what it lacks in depth.
Graveyard Of The Outcast Dead
★★★★☆ Engaging
The relationships between past and present, and how even the unremembered are never truly forgotten, are explored intelligently, emotionally and tunefully in Graveyard Of The Outcast Dead by Kira Mason.
Strays
★★★☆☆ Toxic apocalypse
There is a fierce energy to Strays from Broken Bottle and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile that compensates for minor problems in the narrative.
Jane/Norma
★★★☆☆ Timely
Jane/Norma, by Viewpoint and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile, is a timely and hard-hitting piece of two-handed verbatim theatre from writer-director Kiera Bell.
Twenty People a Minute
★★★★★ Triumphant
Politically aware, poetically staged, and displaying understanding of both people and theatre, Twenty People a Minute (from Arthur & Redpath and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile) is nothing short of a triumph.
Prometheus Bound (Io’s Version)
★★★☆☆ Frustrating
An almost wilfully uneven recasting of Greek myth, Prometheus Bound (Io’s Version) – from New Celts and Myths Unbound at theSpace on the Mile – fascinates and exasperates in almost equal measure.
Tales of Vomit, Trash and Broken Glass
★★★☆☆ Ambitious
Tales of Vomit, Trash and Broken Glass, from New Celts and Not So Nice! at theSpace on the Mile, has endless ambition. The result does not always convince, but always engrosses.
Born Under A Bad Sign
★★★☆☆ Lively
Born Under A Bad Sign, New Celts and Raw Toast’s evocation of male friendship and football, contains much to enjoy.
Crossing The Void
★★★★☆ Spookily real
Crossing The Void, Sally MacAlister’s play for New Celts and koi collective at theSpace on the Mile, hops genres seemingly at will. It ends up as a coherent and sensitive portrayal of very tricky subjects.
The After-Dinner Joke
★★★☆☆ Serious funny
Televisual origins and the passing of time have made much of The After-Dinner Joke, from New Celts and Agree to Disagree at theSpace on the Mile, a curiosity rather than an urgent piece of theatre. However, there is still enough to intrigue.
