Shimmer by Linda Mclean
Surrounded by rain, rivers, lochs and floods, three generations of memory and experience ebb and flow through this lyrical play.'Beautiful and compelling.. McLean's writing has a shimmer all its own and the play's fascinating construction has the lyricism of Lorca crossed with the ingenuity of a Priestley play'
* Guardian *'To bring clarity to the dramatic counterparts of dot-puzzles and shimmering lakes is some achievement. She brings it off'
* The Times *
