Did I make you up?
"Although the lengthy programme notes describe creative points of departure, the place of arrival in Did I Make You Up? is a simple reflection on love that has a sense of timelessness. Contemporary and old-fashioned speak with equal voice as three lonely individuals bask in the glow of idealised love."

(The Irish Times)

James son of James
"Michael Keegan Dolan's self-styled midlands trilogy has come full cycle and returned to the territory of its first instalment, Giselle. Not only is the show back within the focussed confines of the Samuel Beckett Theatre's square stage after the sprawling, emotionally barren peat hills of The Bull, but there is also a return to the moral territory of good versus evil."
