PPP: Disfunction
★★☆☆☆ Confusing
Disfunction by Kate Bowen and directed by Lu Kemp, the last in the Traverse’s current season of Òran Mór’s A Play, A Pie and A Pint, is a lively but ultimately puzzling piece.

PPP: Meetings With The Monk
★★★★☆ Imaginative possibilities
Meetings With The Monk, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór and the Traverse, is a beautifully considered and tremendously well-staged play.

Stay, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is a tuneful and emotional piece.

PPP: The Sheriff of Kalamaki
★★★★☆ Impressive
This week’s A Play, a Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, The Sheriff of Kalamaki by Douglas Maxwell is another tale of mismatched siblings, this time played by the real-life McCole brothers.

PPP: Coast
★★★★☆ Touching
Coast, the latest offering at the Traverse from A Play, A Pie and A Pint (co-presented with Òran Mór), is a wonderfully judged and absorbing drama.

PPP: Variant
★★★★☆ Unsettling
There is a pleasing intransigence to Variant by Peter Arnott, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Oran Mor at the Traverse and Arnott’s fiftieth professionally produced play.

PPP: Write Off
★★★★☆ Magnetic
There is an undeniable force to Aodhan Gallagher’s Write-Off, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint at the Traverse, presented by Oran Mor in association with Dundee Rep.

PPP: BABS
★★★☆☆ Magic energy
BABS, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint at the Traverse, is an endearing work; funny, frothy and deceptively serious, but occasionally pulling in too many directions at once.

PPP: Burning Bright
★★☆☆☆ Committed
Burning Bright, Oran Mor’s latest A Play, A Pie and A Pint at the Traverse, features impressive performances and confident staging in the service of vital themes. However, it never quite fuses together into a persuasive whole.
