James I:
The Key Will Keep The Lock, at the Festival Theatre
"It was great and I really enjoyed it. I thought it all felt very real and I found the language to be really clear and accessible.
"I loved how James I began so fragile and the experience made him hard, although less likeable.
"I loved Rona Munro's language, she has made a period of Scottish history so accessible, and James' speech was very poetic about the nature of what makes Scotland. I thought having the audience on stage was very strong."
Feral by Tortoise in a Nutshell, at Underbelly
"It is a remarkable way of telling a story but I was not 100 per cent sure about it. I thought it was very interesting, it is very hypnotic and it takes you down with it. It is like a kind of orchestrated puppetry and one of the most unusual pieces I have seen."
Miann, Scottish Dance Theatre and The One Ensemble, at Summerhall
"It was so primordial, powerful and emotional. SDT continue to amaze me."
Generation at the National Galleries of Scotland
"It is such a strong showing, a great collection of art from modern Scotland and great collaboration between all the galleries involved, that has been so important. The Steven Campbell room [On Form and Fiction] is incredible. It is something that you have to experience, there is such a wealth talent in one room."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
