Amanda Wilson, 36, accountant, The Grange: "Absolutely superb. The acting the staging and the music all worked beautifully. I particularly loved Ian McDiarmid's performance, it was witty and nuanced and despite the nature of his act you still couldn't help feeling a deep sense of pity for him. The rest of the cast were wonderful as well. In particular I thought the actors playing the teenagers were worthy of praise."

James McLeod, 47, sales director, Murrayfield: "A very good piece of theatre, thought provoking and wonderfully played. The acting was wonderful throughout and I was particularly impressed by Blyth Duff who was touching and powerful in equal measure. I'm ashamed to say I was only aware of Ian McDiarmid from the Star Wars movies and had no idea what a brilliant stage actor he was, he captivated me from the first moment he appeared."
