DUNDEE REP & ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE, EDINBURGH

**NOMINATED FOR UK THEATRE DESIGN AWARD 2024**

“Morna Young...puts the land literally at its centre. The action is played out on four large pits of soil in the centre of the stage. The actors tramp, stamp, fall and kick through it throughout the action, picking it up and flicking it around in a way that almost makes it an extra character, connecting it with them and us in a manner that manages to become much more than just a powerful gesture. It’s a triumph, to be sought out whether you know the novel or not.” Simon Thompson WHATS ONSTAGE★★★★★

“Visually stunning...a visual triumph” Fergus Morgan The Stage

“New Sunset Song adaptation is a work of considerable beauty” Mark Brown for The National

“Emma Bailey’s beautiful, wide open set – superbly lit by Emma Jones – is all rigs of reddish ploughed earth, with just a few spars to climb on, against the reddening sky.” Joyce Macmillan The Scotsman★★★★

“The production’s success is significantly down to design” Dominic Corr for Corr Blimey★★★★
