All the very very best Johnny - my mum and dad used to take me to see you at the Ayr Gaiety in the 1960s when I was just a wee tot and I can still remember the magic. More recently, during the last decade, I've enjoyed your 1 man show at the Kings in Edinburgh and at Rothesay. Wish I was going to be at the Citz on the 20th but alas, found out too late to get myself a ticket. Congratulations and have a wonderful night! Peter, Edinburgh.

Uncle Johnny Beattie is one of the kindest and most thoughtful people in the world (after Santa Claus - I'm keeping my options open. Good luck. I am sure my Mum and Dad would have written a message if they had not been too old to manage the computer. Love, Katy Glen

I saw this last night and it was wonderful. I did not want to go having seen the trailer but was encouraged to do so by my partner. I am glad I did but have to say the trailer does not do it justice and does not refelct the overall content of the whole play. The play is not as dark as the trailer portrays it.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all involved in the production of king Lear. I attended with my husband last Wednesday evening. I absolutely loved it and I have not been able to stop talking about it since! All the actors gave an amazing performance - they really put there hearts and souls into the acting! I loved the modern setting! David hay was amazing in the role of king Lear! He was really convincing and acted it with such emotion - it was truly believable! Kathryn Holden had some amazing vocal fighting scenes - she was brilliant! I loved shauna McDonald's portrayal of the glamorous woman and her dying scene was fabulous - totally convincing! lynn kennedy was perfect in her role! Owen whitelaw impressed me with his fool acting - fantastic - right down to the walk and toy piano! Edgar came into his own when Edgar went mad! Loved the acting! Tony Cowie was a vary convincing Oswald and funny! The second half was explosive and had me on the edge of my seat! Thanks guys for a fabulous and memorable night out - your obvious efforts were much appreciated! We Will definitely be coming back to see performances from this group again!

Saw King Lear last night. Fantastic performances, especially from David Hayman. Only downside was the heat in the dress circle made it difficult to concentrate on the show. That said, was well worth the trip. Well done to everybody involved.

I cannot get the last moments out of my head. Absolutely blown away by last night's performance. The set is amazing, I loved the concept of the musicians on stage. I saw Lear at The Globe a few years ago, and was less than enamoured - this performance was far superior. Loved the Scottish accents, playing on various colloquialisms. The Fool was superb: achingly melancholic. Just fantastic - I've been devastated over the sorrow all day!

Hi Susan, thanks for your enquiry. Could you let me know what age your daughter is and I can get back to you on what availability there is for the classes? It looks like there may still be spaces available for the 9-12s Summer Academy but please give the Box Office a call on 0141 429 0022 for up to date availability.

Do you have any availablity for sat/sun classes for the 9 - 12 age group. My daughter is keen to attend but up until now has had other commitments. Also, is there any spaces for the summer club? Many thanks.

We saw 'Lear' on Saturday 28th April -what a production! David Hayman was a stunning Lear, moving from the imperious to the touchingly pathetic with consummate skill. But he was supported by a terrific cast - an excellent Goneril and Regan - although the 'stiletto' scene was almost unbearably horrific - as we would have expected form actors of the calibre of Howden and MacDonald. But for us the surprise of the production was the brilliant Kent - I don't think I've ever come out of a production of Lear before commenting on the excellence of Kent! We also thought the sparse set worked well - the supermarket trolley was a particularly neat touch.On small detail jarred - Lear dragged Cordelia on a the end like a sack of tatties... we would have preferred the more traditional cradling. But overall, a towering achievement -well done to all.

I saw King Lear last night - it was breath taking. All the cast were great, but George Costigan was a revelation! I came to see David Hayman and he surpassed my expectations. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

I went to see King Lear last night as part of a school, i throughly enjoyed the play and it helped me understand the characterisation of Lear. There was some scenes in the play that shocked me as a school pupil. Actors were great especially Lear.
