Òran Mór
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: Cheapo
★★★☆☆ Promising
Cheapo by Katy Nixon impresses in the way it deals with serious issues. It is well acted and full of life but has something of an unfinished feel.
PPP: Our Brother
★★★☆☆ Serious
Our Brother by Jack MacGregor, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is a tense political drama that is well acted but whose structure occasionally lets it down.
PPP: Wallace
★★★★☆ Intelligent fun
Wallace, the first in the new season from Play, Pie and a Pint at the Traverse, is a sparky, original and historically aware co-production from Òran Mór and Raw Material.
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.
