‘THE LASSES, O’ by Janet Paisley - EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE 2010
a delightfully subtle act of subversion... Sunday Herald
Midwife, relative, mother-in-law, smuggler, neighbour - five women who knew Robert Burns tell their stories in monologue and song, threading together the poet’s life in a humorous, moving play.
The Times: skilfully written... original, amusing
Scotsman: a powerful formula for a new perspective on Burns.
