Selected Reviews:
The Stage review (4 stars): "No modern settings or costumes.  No relocation to another time. This is a very traditional Much Ado About Nothing. Directed by ensemble member Irene Macdougall, this production plays it for laughs – and they are plentiful, thanks to a sterling performance by Robert Jack as the reluctant suitor Benedick. His performance is a lesson in how to react – his face and body eloquent, his squirming done with subtlety and great comic timing."

The Scotsman review (4 stars): "If the production has a fault, it’s perhaps that it tries a little too hard to make the comedy funny"
"In the end, it both delights the audience, and succeeds in making us feel the bold ambivalence of a great, many-layered comedy that flirts darkly with death, but also offers a rare vision of true love.”

The Herald Scotland review: "There are excellent performances across the piece"
"Designer Ken Harrison's period costumes are a delight"
"All in all, this is a beautifully crafted, fabulously confident rendering of a great Shakespeare comedy."
