We at HeraldScotland want to hear from YOU about the live performances you've seen.
Our new series - You The Critic - allows readers across Scotland to submit their own compact arts reviews in the fields of theatre, music, dance, comedy, open mic events, visual arts (not film or TV). We'll post them to the site every day.
To make your review as fair as possible, it's important that you use your real name and we know that you're not going to benefit personally from what you write. Be honest, be funny if you like, and feel free to be critical… but don't be offensive.
To submit your write-up, as soon as possible after you've been to the show or event, copy and paste the following form into the body of an email and fill in the fields:
Send it to: critics@heraldandtimes.co.uk (we'll keep your email secret)

Why are you making commenting on HeraldScotland 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
