Orla O’Loughlin
What Girls Are Made Of
★★★★★ Joyous:
Bursting with emotion and tuneful energy, the return to the Traverse of What Girls Are Made Of is a thing of wonder.
Mouthpiece
★★★☆☆ Political emotion:
There is much to admire about the staging of Mouthpiece at the Traverse, and even more about how it is acted. In the end, however, the play tantalises rather than delivers.
