Oran Mor
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.
PPP: Dookin’ Oot
★★★★☆ Beautifully vulgar
Dookin’ Oot by Éimi Quinn, the first in the new season of Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is a very funny and deceptively serious piece.
PPP: Detained
★★★★☆ Heartfelt
Detained, the final instalment in the Traverse’s autumn season of offerings from from Òran Mór’s Play, Pie and a Pint, is a thoughtful and incisive piece of theatre.
PPP: Lost Girls / At Bus Stops
★★★☆☆ Excellent performances
Lost Girls / At Bus Stops, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is a rather sweet take on a time-honoured dramatic dilemma.
PPP: The Wolves at the Door
★★★☆☆ Well-intentioned
The Wolves at the Door by Jack Hunter, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint offering from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is a piece of politically-informed theatre that has heart but is ultimately lacking in bite.
PPP: The Last Cabaret on Earth
★★★★☆ Impressive
The Last Cabaret on Earth, by Brian James O’Sullivan at the Traverse, is the first in the new series of Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór (with Ayr Gaiety) – and has an impact out of all proportion to its small scale.
PPP: The Scaff
★★★☆☆ Energetic
The Scaff by Stephen Christopher and Graeme Smith, the last in the Traverse’s Spring season of Òran Mór’s Play, Pie and a Pint, is performed with a huge amount of dynamism.
PPP: Hotdog
★★★☆☆ Powerful
Hotdog by Ellen Ritchie, this week’s lunchtime theatre at the Traverse, is a powerful if uneven production, extremely well performed.
PPP: Pushin’ Thirty
★★★☆☆ Delicate
Traverse: Tue 19 – Sat 23 Mar 2024
Review by Hugh Simpson
Pushin’ Thirty at the Traverse is a delicate and evocative piece that does not always convince.
PPP: Starving
★★★★☆ Nutritious
Starving by Imogen Stirling, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint at the Traverse from Òran Mór in collaboration with Raw Materials, is a potent and fascinating piece.
