A double bill of comedy drama, firstly Andy Duffy's tale of friendship, fidelity, philosophy and fishing. Then there's Martin McCardie's story of Jack, who was born on the same day in the same hospital as Paolo Nutini, and his journey to a music festival to see the singer perform.
Comic double-bill features some laughs but lacks freshness and subtlety.
Strong writing and talented actors lend richness to rural life. A bit more movement in the first piece would lend a visual dimension and give us something to focus on. Alternatively, just give us a pie and a pint!
