Nightmare

Nightmare

★★★☆☆    Oddly enjoyable:

A frankly implausible plot, that breaks several of the cardinal rules of crime fiction, is largely overcome by the committed performances in Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Nightmare.

A Fistful of Mondays

★★★★☆ Yee-ha!

Low-key but satisfying, Saughtonhall Drama Group’s A Fistful of Mondays which has a limited run to Saturday is attractively humorous.

Suddenly at Home – Review

Suddenly at Home – Review

✭✭✭✩✩ Subtle thrills

There are some excellent performances and a great deal to applaud in Saughtonhall Drama Group’s production of Francis Durbridge’s thriller Suddenly At Home; even if the end result is enjoyable rather than truly gripping, it still makes for a highly pleasurable evening.
