Reviews for A Play, A Pie and A Pint: Volume One

'...an extraordinary engine of new writing and new talent. For established writers it's a chance to experiment ... new writers it's a chance to be heard. The restrictions of the form are simple - small cast, 45 mins, limited set; but, within those restrictions, a whole world is possible. A Play, A Pie and A Pint is one of those simple ideas that changes everything.' David Greig 'A major part of Scotland's new playwriting landscape' The Scotsman 'A bedrock of the Scottish theatre industry' The Guardian
