PLAYS BY GAVIN BOLUS BALTHAZAR "Bolus's knack for fine dramatic writing, combined with philosophical subtelty is evident in every line." Mario Relich, The Scotsman. "A fascinating fresh twist to the Biblical story of the Wise Men from the East... finely written and resonant with philosophical reflection and religious questions." Brian G. Cooper, The Stage. "In this minor masterpiece...the illusion is complete." Julie Reid, The Scotsman. THE LAUGHING ROUNDHEAD "Delightful one-man evocation of Cromwellian times...humour and history interwoven in equal measure." Brian G. Cooper, The Stage. "Compassion and piquancy, irony and profundity... The whole exercise is an admirable use of the theatre in its oldest story-telling form, but it traps its audience very neatly on the question of why the Roundhead was laughing. That is deliciously done..." Owen Dudley Edwards, The Scotsman. LET AMERICA COME "Well researched and coloured by a lively imagination." Robert Alstead, the Scotsman. "A finely written historical drama set in Panama City at the time of the Spanish Conquistadores... Bolus skilfully weaves into the dialogue the dilemmas and moral choices of colonization and conversion, and the corruption of high ideals by base necessity and arrogance." Brian G. Cooper, The Stage. THE OPEN HAND Gavin Bolus's comedy of blunders - both personal and official - manages ato intrigue and entertain in equally rewarding measures. At the heart of it all is the richly parochial dialogue, which sparkles with deceptively wide-eyed nuggets of wisdom, and displays an often hilariously robust sense of humour." Sarah Dempster, The Scotsman. "Constantly amusing comedy of deception, intrigue and human foibles." Brian G. Cooper, The Stage. |
