Tristan & Yseult review: Emma Rice reinvents a classic love story (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Club of the Unloved is already in full swing as the audience enter for this touring revival of Emma Rice’s twenty-first-century reboot of the medieval love story that refuses to lie down. As Les Baxter’s lush lounge-core sounds are swapped for Wagner on the vintage record player at the side of the stage, the mini mob of geeky ‘love spotters’ and the live junkyard band above them usher in a romp of all romps that turns to tragedy within a broken heartbeat. In short, when John Leader’s French-
Brian Logan's Whaur's Yer Wullie Shakespeare Noo?: a spirited celebration (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When the Reverend John Homeâs play Douglas first appeared in 1757, its romantic verse drama was a sensation. Arriving at the vanguard of the Scottish Enlightenment, Homeâs play was hailed as the future by those hanging on to its commercial coat-tails, while at the same time outraging those who saw any theatre at all as the Devilâs work.

Theatre Review: Wallace - A Musical, The Pavilion, Glasgow. Four stars Once upon a time, history books were full of heroes, who helped sex up the humdrum realpolitik of what actually happened enough to bring it off the page and into the hearts and minds of those who might be led to take sides. So it goes with the much lauded story of William Wallace, Scottish knight, scourge of English marauders and, in Mel Gibson’s blue paint smeared eyes, Hollywood’s idea of a nation’s saviour.

Theatre Review: Remember you are beauty full, Perth Theatre. Four stars (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Theatre Review: Remember you are beauty full, Perth Theatre. Four stars The writing is on the wall for Alanah, the sparky young woman in Matthew McVarish’s solo play, receiving its first revival since it was seen in 2012. Alanah is living the high life after a fashion, that fashion being in a twenty-storey tower block in a concrete jungle where she moved when her husband dumped her after just three months of wedded bliss. That was after Alanah dropped out of uni and pretty much everything else b
