Seen at the Traverse Theatre, now on tour.
Part domestic nightmare, part historical reflection — we admired Nicola Jo Cully’s solo performance even as the play’s focus slipped.

Review: Night Waking – Traverse Theatre
Nicola Jo Cully anchors An Tobar and Mull Theatre’s Night Waking, a darkly comic, uneven but atmospheric take on Sarah Moss’s novel.

★★★ Puppetry, clowning and a wrestling ring finale — Hercules the Bear is inventive, funny and heartfelt family theatre. Its three acts don’t always mesh, but the spirit carries it.

Review: Hercules the Bear – Tenterhooks
"...a fun and heartfelt piece of physical theatre." - Tenterhooks' ode to Hercules the Bear is a delightful, if slightly disjointed ode to an unlikely national icon.
