Loose Ends

Mark Benedict Murphy and Jordan’s acting in the piece was phenomenal!
A troubling story, with themes of Alcoholism, Schizophrenia, Homelessness and Hopelessness.
This play shed light on the reality of so many people who have fallen through the cracks of society and are left alone to tackle the relentlessness of Mental health and the toll it takes.
Two lost souls, trying to find connection even through instability.
Funny, Witty, Dark and thought provoking throughout, a standout show with an intimate set,
Thanks for a unique experience!

Acting excellent. Rather a depressing subject but an excellent production

Wow! Such a funny yet twistingly dark play with a very poignant message. All though written in the late 80s, the plays message still holds up, and the performers have done a wonderful job bringing this play to life! The acting is mesmeric, with such an intimate space, the audience truly are sucked in. It really feels like your watching a slice of life. The play has a hilarious Scottish wit to it which is a joy to watch and the two performers are fantastic at injecting life into this very short but sweet play. The direction is fantastic, and the whole team have done a wonderful job!

What a fab show! Please, if you get the chance to catch this gem at the Fringe before it's gone, do! The story itself is captivating and you get invested in the two characters' lives very quickly, with the actors embodying these very different people skillfully and carefully. Mark Benedict Murphy is fantastic as the quick and complicated Spud with Jordan Mennie's Callum providing the perfect balance in the chaotic story that unfolds. It was funny, poignant and ultimately very bittersweet with lots of Scots humour and tough realities about mental health, relationships and loneliness. Great stuff!

I really didn’t know what to expect from this play but from about 10 minutes in I was charmed. A somewhat awkward but truthful portrayal of loneliness and the breakdown of community. It had me laughing away and Mark Benedict Murphy’s comedic delivery was spot on. A tale that really descends and lures you in, giving you a glimpse behind the curtain to a deprived 80s Scotland. Definitely worth a watch.

Enjoyed the play and both actors played their part really well.

I think some of the humour was lost on some of the non Scots in the audience but worth seeing.

This show wasn’t really our cup of tea. However, the acting was impressive. Worth giving a go if you have some spare time!

A five star review for a very Scottish play that you don't want to miss! What began as a slightly awkward and increasingly humorous situation evolved into something I never saw coming. Both actors did a phenomenal job at keeping my full attention through the entire show.
