Jocky Wilson Said
★★★★☆ I’m in heaven:
Blessed memories of a Scottish sporting legend are evoked superbly by Grant O’Rourke in the Gilded Balloon’s Jocky Wilson Said.

Lyceum season introduction
A time to take risks:
The Lyceum’s artistic director, David Greig, talks about the background to the 2017/18 season and his reasoning behind it.

PPP: Breaking The Ice
★★★☆☆ Funny:
Fine comic performances and staging distinguish Breaking The Ice, the first in the latest season of A Play, A Pie and A Pint at the Traverse.

Thon Man Moliere
★★★★☆ Excellent performances:
Beautifully staged and excellently acted, the Lyceum’s premiere of Liz Lochhead’s Thon Man Moliere is a charming and largely compelling production.

Thon Woman Lochhead
World premiere for new Lochhead at Lyceum:
The world premiere of Thon Man Moliere, Liz Lochhead’s play about the life and times of the playwright Moliere, opens at the Lyceum this week.

The Venetian Twins
★★★★☆ Double the fun:
Broad, finely honed and never afraid of a corny joke, The Venetian Twins is a huge, rip-roaring thing. It is all rather silly, but is none the worse for that.

Lyceum season 2014-15 launched
The Royal Lyceum’s 2014/15 season has been announced, with a pair of world premieres bookending a programme otherwise packed with classic theatre.

Review – Long Day’s Journey Into Night
✭✭✭✭✩ Intensely emotional
Intense, disquieting and ultimately rewarding, the Lyceum’s production of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night is worthy of very high praise.
