Oran Mor
PPP: Whaur’s Yer Wullie Shakespeare Noo?
★★☆☆☆ Unsubtle
Whaur’s Yer Wullie Shakespeare Noo?, the latest Play, A Pie and A Pint offerings from Òran Mór’ at the Traverse, has plenty of pace and spirit, but ultimately is an unsatisfactory affair.
PPP: Maybe Tomorrow
★★★☆☆ Jolly
Maybe Tomorrow, by Brian James O’Sullivan and Hannah Jarrett-Scott from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is one of those mini-musicals that A Play, A Pie & A Pint does so well. If it is all a bit inconsequential, it is highly enjoyable.
PPP: Feis
★★☆☆☆ Scattergun
Feis by Anna McGrath, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is a cheerful but lightweight comedy that tries to go in too many directions at once.
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: 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.
