Òran Mór
PPP: Righ Iasgair: The Fisher King
★★★☆☆ Jarring
Righ Iasgair: The Fisher King by Kenny Boyle, the last in the current series of the Traverse’s presentations of Òran Mór’s A Play, A Pie & A Pint, is an evocative presentation of Scottish language and culture that fails to carry off a drastic shift in tone.
PPP: Cheapo
★★★☆☆ Promising
Cheapo by Katy Nixon impresses in the way it deals with serious issues. It is well acted and full of life but has something of an unfinished feel.
PPP: Our Brother
★★★☆☆ Serious
Our Brother by Jack MacGregor, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is a tense political drama that is well acted but whose structure occasionally lets it down.
PPP: Ivor
★★☆☆☆ Well-meaning
Ivor by Jennifer Adam, the last in the current season of Òran Mór’s Play, Pie and a Pint at the Traverse, is a lively but ultimately confused piece of theatre.
PPP: Night, Idiot
★★★☆☆ Compelling
Night, Idiot by Zoe Bullock, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse co-presented by Aberdeen Performing Arts, is a deceptively serious and emotionally intriguing piece of writing.
PPP: Dancing Shoes
★★★☆☆ Joyful
There is a heart-warming element of the fantastic as well as sympathetic realism in Dancing Shoes, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse.
PPP: Wasps
★★★★☆ Emotional clarity
Wasps by Cameron Forbes, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is a touching coming-of-age story.
PPP: Eilidh, Eilidh, Eilidh
★★★★☆ Accomplished
Eilidh, Eilidh, Eilidh, by Lana Pheutan, is gently humorous and thoroughly involving. Pheutan, from Skye, has been involved in Fringe stalwarts Pretty Knickers Productions and in writing for TV Alba, and also directs what is the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse.
