William Dron
Eleanor
★★★★★ Historical insight
For every figure whose name echoes throughout history there are the descendants destined to spend their lives living in the shadow of their ancestors.
Pool (no water)
★★★☆☆ Patchy
Pool (no water) from New Celts and Oddly Ordinary reaches high in its intent. The end result is decidedly mixed, with elements that impress and others that infuriate.
Shook
★★★★☆ Stirring
There is a raw, aching vacuum at the heart of Shook from New Celts and Twisted Corners at theSpace Triplex. Not because anything is missing in a particularly well written and excellently acted play; instead, it reflects the emptiness of wasted lives in the young offenders it portrays.
