I've been to a few Play/Pie/Pint lunches at the Òran Mór but hadn't seen any of these. Overall they all worked as plays on the page being coherent enough just to read through. I was a little unsure how the staging would be for a few of them and sometimes the story itself just didn't grow me. That was the way of the show though - you never really knew what you were going to get! Three stars for the six plays as a job lot, definitely a mixed bag.
In order of enjoyment:
Jocky Wilson Said by Jane Livingstone and Jonathan Cairney - 5 stars
Chic Murray: A Funny Place for A Window by Stuart Hepburn - 4 stars
Ida Tampson by Denise Mina - 4 stars
Toy Plastic Chicken by Uma Nada-Rajah - 3 stars
A Respectable Widow Takes to Vulgarity by Douglas Maxwell - 2 stars
Do Not Press This Button by Alan Bissett - 2 stars
