“Look, the piece seems to say, it’s not so hard after all. Just notice one another… Through this intimate story about family and travelling, Third Angel manage to delicately pack in plenty of other, bigger ideas: the psychological dimension of travelling, what ancestry, nation and place mean to us, the mythical fascination of isolated locations, how we relate to those around us. It’s simple, yes, but not simplistic… We can just enjoy this enchanting ride.”

“There is something more than charm, though, in the sharp narrative arc of Kelly’s story, as he tries to retrace his grandfather’s steps to Durness and beyond. There is a recognition of the complexity of Britain, and its huge range of lives and landscapes and connections, that adds something heartfelt and significant to the current debate about the future of the union; and a sense, too, of the importance of love – binding people to the places they came from, helping them build new lives elsewhere – in easing the passage from past to future, and from the place where we once lived, to where we are now.” “HOT SHOW”
Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman, 24 August 2013
“Is this story-telling or drama? Both. I don’t think labels matter in this must-see show. Book quickly. This is one of the Fringe secrets that is fast getting out by word of mouth.”
The Skinny, 2 September 2013
“The most wonderful story… a joy to be part of… a master story teller. When we got off the minibus a fellow traveller said ‘it feels like we should be somewhere else now’, and I couldn’t really have put it any better myself, feeling as if I’d travelled hundreds of miles without moving anywhere at all.”
