"In essence this (Resonate/Screenstage) was little short of a masterclass in the craft of scriptwriting – I went through so many emotions in just over an hour. I was thrilled by and enjoyed the tremendous interplay, I laughed, I related to the content. So entertaining. The powerful monologue ‘Girl In 2017’ brought into sharp focus how contemporary issues and technology have dulled the senses of today’s teens-to-20s generation. ‘Ma Baby’ was utterly brilliant with a magical performance from the actress as the Glasgow mother of a Down’s Syndrome daughter – with again, superlative writing. ‘Destruere’ featured an actor giving a bravura turn as an eloquent, regretful, despairing Irish alcoholic as he drank and delivered whimsy, fury and sorrow. This was a stunning piece of work – great acting with great writing – a potent mix. Then came my personal highlight short ‘Shark’. This piece has stayed with me even as I write this – it horrified and moved me – but it impressed me to such a degree that I simply can’t get it out of my head. Absolutely spot-on performances from both actors, but such economy of credible dialogue powered to maximum impact level. Then we had the visual climax of an almost Disneyfied characterisation in ‘Mercy’ with the playing of a embittered maturing actress who has gone beyond her sell-by date in the world of theatre"

"Screenstage's showcase of short productions at the Fringe was a tremendous evening, just excellent. I felt the writing was quite exemplary and I pass on my congratulations to the writer/director (Thom McKeown). The cast throughout were uniformly outstanding with particular note for the work in Ma Baby, Destruere (again a quite wonderful script), the mesmerising graphic menace of Shark, the gorgeous little piece That’s Love and my favourite of the whole production - the exasperating wife, marvellously played in A Fork In A World Of Soup."
