Rob Drummond
Don’t. Make. Tea.
★★★★☆ Surprising
Don’t. Make. Tea., at the Traverse for four nights only, finds Rob Drummond scripting a dark tale of the labyrinthine benefits system for Birds of Paradise Theatre Company.
PPP: Milkshake
★★★☆☆ Claustrophobic
The subject matter of Milkshake by Rob Drummond, the latest offering at the Traverse from Oran Mor’s Play, Pie and a Pint, is intriguingly topical. Despite being acted with real conviction, however, it never quite reaches the heights it promises.
PPP: The Mack
★★★★☆ Quietly raging:
A dark undercurrent of fear runs through Rob Drummond’s fascinating account of the burning of The Mack, the affectionate nickname for architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Glasgow School of Art building.
PPP: Eulogy
★★★☆☆ Surprising:
Rob Drummond surpasses even his own reputation for theatrical twisting and turning with the memorable Eulogy, an invitation to the lunchtime funeral service of the late Sandy Munro.
Our Fathers
★★★☆☆ Charming:
Our Fathers at the Traverse has a great deal of talent behind it. The end result is amusing and entertaining but ultimately somewhat too frothy.
PPP: Pleading
★★★★☆ Tensely human:
Rob Drummond’s Pleading gets the latest series of A Play, A Pie and A Pint at the Traverse off to a particularly strong start.
McNair Joins Traverse
Cast announced for Locker Room Talk:
Gary McNair has joined the Traverse Theatre as an associate artist, ahead of the performance of his Trump response piece Locker Room Talk, next week, 17 and 18 February 2017.
The Broons
★★★★☆ Cheery:
Loud, hugely enjoyable and instantly recognisable, The Broons, playing the King’s to Saturday, is every bit as much fun as you would hope.
In Fidelity
✭✭✭✭✩ In Triguing:
Combining a dating show, with an exploration on the scientific basis of love, In Fidelity at the Traverse is great fun and deceptively clever.
The #CATS16 winners
Wait ends for Godot at CATS:
The Lyceum’s production of Waiting for Godot has won the Best Production award at this year’s Critics Awards for Theatre in Scotland.
