Chic Murray, a funny place for a window, review
Once upon a time, TV folk would have thought this kind of thing deadly dull and stagey. Why would anyone want to watch a play at home and miss out on the atmosphere of the theatre?

Alison Rowat, The Herald, 2nd September 2019In Glasgow, this tasty showcase for new theatre work - where lunch is included in the ticket price - has staged more than 500 plays in 15 years. Six recent productions have been filmed in situ for broadcast, starting with a music-filled tribute to comic Chic Murray, the surreal Scottish patter merchant who died in 1985.
