Loving Burns (2 stars)

(1)

This article is from 2008.

Two female performers weave songs from the Bard of Ayrshire into a pretty thin story which connects the many women in Burns' life. I'm not sure we really need another play about the errant but lovable rogue, but if we do, this isn't it, for the longing for him by the women left behind is, well, overlong. Some nice singing redeems the piece, though.

Rocket @ Roxburghe Hotel, 0871 750 0077, until 25 Aug, 5.30pm, £7.50–£8.50 (£4).
