★★★★ with Cameron Fulton, Rebecca Wilkie and Mary Gapinski acting up a storm, under Beth Morton’s light-touch direction, The Infernal Serpent offers a well-made and enjoyable 45 minutes of entertainment, full of interesting insights into where we are now, in redefining the relationship between humankind and the animal world.

★★★★★ – When May refuses to shine, this play will lift the spirits. Ian Marland, Glasgow West End Today
Davina (not her real name, but she’s real enough) tells the story of a week in her life, about being with demonstrators and inhabitants of the Peace Camp and taking part in a demonstration to block the delivery of equipment at Faslane’s nuclear weapons plant.
She talks of camaraderie, humour, the dedication of the Disarming community, COP, the warnings, the reading of the necessary procedures, the charging with law-breaking and the negotiating over her court date to accommodate her planned holidays.
