Leslie Black PhotographyAlone on a stormy night in an isolated house, Lydia Ross awaits her new lodger, Guthrie … but he is maybe not quite what she had in mind. Read more …
A suspense-thriller which looks at the toxicity of co-dependent relationships and just how far people will go to get what they want. Doras Dùinte is a contemporary new Gàidhlig drama with English subtitles, animation and haunting soundscape, making it accessible to all.
There’s plenty of potential here, and some real narrative tension. At the moment, though, the show suffers from bursts of seriously awkward, static acting, and hasn’t even begun to resolve the problems created by having the surtitles projected behind the actors, as they stand in fixed positions on stage.
Doras Dùinte leaves you with a few unanswered questions but there’s much promise to build on.
