REVIEW EXTRACTS 'This brilliant play has found the big confident, public voice it deserved… it is a generous, accessible piece of drama with a broad popular appeal. Tony Cownie is astonishing… at turns lucid, funny, deranged, perceptive and heartbreaking. He is the dazzling highlight of a superlative production.' The Guardian (A Madman Sings to the Moon)
'Extraordinary performances that light up the stage… entertainment of a very high order and surely has to be put down as one of the best shows of the year so far.' Scottish Daily Mail (Laurel and Hardy)
'Flawless performances... a beautiful and gripping piece of theatre.' The Scotsman (Anna Karenina)
CURRENT PRODUCTION Laurel and Hardy Tom McGrath’s heart-warming and hilarious play tells the story of the much-loved Hollywood duo. (140 mins including interval, 3 on stage, 8 on the road)
