Richard Stamp, 'Fringe Guru' ****
Siege Perilous' classically-inspired re-telling, while true to the ancient legends, still finds many fresh insights to share.....
The young Andrew Hainey impressed me in this difficult role.....Neil Thomas caught my eye as Gawain, filled with anguish....Ian Sexon delivering a tour-de-force fit for the stage of the Playhouse....Nordberg's elegantly-crafted poetry has the gravitas of the Arthurian age yet stays accessible to the modern ear....Director Andy Corelli makes fine use of the garden itself conjuring the darkness of a dungeon or the intimacy of a boudoir through nothing more than an inspired choice of spot.
Thom Dibdin, 'The Scotsman' ***
Siege Perilous's production succeeds in making that link between the real world and Arthurian legend. The promenade production powers round the grounds, allowing the performers to ensure that every word is clearly heard.
