***** An astonishingly accomplished piece of work…as entertaining as it is intellectually demanding.
Fest Mag
**** A fierce poetic snapshot of two contemporary cultures linked by history.
The Scotsman
The three distinctive actors [are] perfectly matched, giving tough, intelligent performances, masking an inner warmth behind their deadpan wit.
Variety
**** Exhilarating…Raw, heartfelt and messy on several levels…Boldly theatrical.
The Stage
**** A trenchant critique of global complicity…attacks pieties about Scottish and American victimhood, drawing the line between fantasies of freedom and violent aggression.
The List
**** A whisky-fired fantasia.
Herald Scotland
The gauzy dream-world of their storytelling where we can zip from West Virginia to Scotland makes this adventure magical and messy. The labyrinthine format of the show is a fitting way to explore as complex a morass as identity. Nothing is fixed. Ideas morph with time and so too must our storytelling.
Exeunt
**** A true celebration of Scottish culture, humour, music and storytelling.
