REVIEW: Care

Reading Time: 3 minutesFor the better part of a decade, I worked in care homes. Until this show, I had never seen anything which portrays the experience so accurately, and with such depth of emotion. So often the experience of care work is hidden, an experience we hope we never have to go through. Care homes are places out of sight and mind, until there’s no choice but to cross the threshold. Care is an unflinching, raw look at that world, and what it is like for all sides of the journey; resident, carer, child, grandchild.

REVIEW: Dvořák ‘New World’ Symphony

Reading Time: 2 minutesAs ever when seeing this iteration of the ‘International’ Scottish Chamber Orchestra, from the first note to the last, these players are flawless.
