Thought the cast were superb. Not a weak leak. Wish we had a proper National Theatre. Not sure what the whole play was trying to say - other than a warning against opening your big mouth in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This cause a bit of a debate in the car back to Glasgow. I think Statler is being unduly harsh here. I'm interested if it's a male/female divide.

As he's said above I feel the dynamic between the three women is the powerful thing about this piece. Rona Munro has Janet Horne as a victim (obviously so if you end up getting burned for being a witch). But she's a victim on her own terms at the end. She's a woman who's seen a world wider than her croft in Dornoch, was widowed young and is raising a child with a disability.

OK, she's also a mouthy cow, shies away from hard work and at times an abusive mother but nobody's perfect.

With regards the set my biggest issue was the dip in the centre meant that from our seats at the front I couldn't see anything that took place on the ground in that dip.
