Play Reviews

WILD HONEY

Sets off at a tremendous pace, bringing a sense of life to the play immediately
Joy Watters, The Courier

An immensely attractive play…in physical elegance and sheer spectacle
Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman

A real piece of inspirational theatre
Alison Anderson, Perthshire Advertiser

A cross between Uncle Vanya, Noises Off and Don Juan, with a touch of Hamlet’s indecision thrown in for good measure.
Mark Fisher, The Guardian

Wild Honey is ideal Pitlochry fare, a kind of Chekhov-lite, farce and furious amongst the birch trees.
Robert Dawson Scott, The Times

Sweet and frothy
Mark Brown, The Sunday Herald
A midsummer night’s sex comedy tempered with moments of existentialist despair, not all of them serious

Mark Fisher, The Guardian
Farcical action combined with moments of pathos…a spectacular scene finale

Peter Cargill, The Stage

SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER

Given a lavish treatment at Pitlochry…delicately captures the mood and era in both sets and costumes…provides a beautiful framework for the large ensemble…which ensures an audience can simply sit back and enjoy
Joy Watters, The Courier

A bomb-proof comedy
Robert Dawson Scott, The Times

HABEUS CORPUS

It’s a fantastically funny play
Robert Dawson Scott, The Times

The opening night’s audience at Pitlochry loved it – roaring their approval throughout.
Joy Watters, The Courier

Sheer, joyful showbiz energy..a real treasure trove of fine performances
Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman

This is a blissfully funny account of sexual obsession
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

Sheer, uncomplicated entertainment to lift the spirits.

ARCADIA

Tremendously elegant production…an astounding, beautiful and haunting final scene in which all its threads briefly knot together in an unforgettable moment of beauty and sadness, a dance to the music of time itself
Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman

Switching back and forth between the 19th Century and the present, Arcadia addresses questions of art, science and history – and how they intersect. It is Stoppard’s finest play…poignant and entertaining.
Alison Anderson, Perthshire Advertiser

Sparklingly clever…perfect for the Pitlochry Festival Theatre summer season
Mark Brown, The Telegraph

Altogether this is a very impressive, absorbing and highly enjoyable production
Victor Hallett, Onstage Scotland

An absorbing piece of theatre
