Reviews
"...the slight incongruity between story and landscape often only adds to the dreamlike feel of a reality behind the surface of our world, something mythic and fundamental that only art and imagination can restore to us. Adams's words are superb...beautiful and moving." Joyce McMillan, Scotsman 2006
"A sudden moment of perfect beauty emerges, followed by one of paranoia...a haunting experience" Alan Shuttleworth, Financial Times
"Judith Adams' script is dense as thick, black treacle but has the lightest of touches, melding myth and poetry with the everyday.....there were times when I found myself fearfully looking over my shoulder as if haunted by my own footsteps." Lyn Gardner, Guardian. (Pick of the Day Aug 11th and 19th)
"I have been thinking about it ever since" Ruaridh Nicholl, Observer
"A delicious, sensory overload of future gothic." Neil Cooper, Glasgow Herald.
"A mix of story, installation, hypnosis and walking tour: we love a show that finds, creates or utilises exciting and innovative venues - and especially those shows that find ways to use the fabric of Edinburgh itself as a stage. Many shows and companies have done this over the years, but the one that caught our eye was Puppet Lab's production Ghost, which transformed the streets of Leith into a performance space through the use of a simple head set and a clever soundscape. A very interesting show enjoyed in isolation. For their innovative use of sound, emotion and location, Puppet Lab deserve their Editors' Award" Threeweeks
