REVIEW: The Mould that Changed the World (Surgeon’s Hall) ★★★★
It’s quite a bold title and aptly staged at the Surgeon’s Hall.

About antibiotics. Stay with me. The action goes right to the dawn […]

REVIEW: Harpy (Underbelly Cowgate) ★★★★
Being an outspoken woman of a certain age, I was very attracted to this show for two reasons: the name of the play and it starring Su Pollard, who was a childhood heroine of mine, for her brilliant comedic skills in shows such as Hi De Hi and You Rang M’ord. Her talent for timing […]
