Reviews:
“Shepherd’s Warning covers a lot of heavy themes, all with an excellent Scottish wit and humour. The play has a very complex and winding plot line, ensuring the audience never knows what is going to happen next. The dialogue is well written, fast paced and drops in just enough humour to keep the audience locked in.
The performances across the board were very strong. Kari Hall’s, Cassie, was feisty, fiery and impassioned, and they had a real presence and tenacity to their performance.”
