PPP: The Legend of Davie McKenzie
★★★☆☆ Ebullient
The Legend of Davie McKenzie, the latest A Pie and A Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is an energetic and emotional piece.
PPP: Someone’s Knockin’ at the Door
★★★☆☆ Charming
Someone’s Knockin’ at the Door, the first in the new batch of A Play, A Pie and A Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is a well-performed and pleasing – if ultimately insubstantial – production
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: Maybe Tomorrow
★★★☆☆ Jolly
Maybe Tomorrow, by Brian James O’Sullivan and Hannah Jarrett-Scott from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is one of those mini-musicals that A Play, A Pie & A Pint does so well. If it is all a bit inconsequential, it is highly enjoyable.
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.
PPP: Kev Campbell Was He
★★★☆☆ Engaging
Kev Campbell Was He, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is an engaging and gently political production.
