Enlightenment House--A Play in Five Rooms

The wit and ambition of the Enlightenment period animates the grand spaces of the Georgian House, lit up with sumptuous design, fine music and elegant acting. A feast for the senses and a ravishment of heart and mind, as the noble ideals of the Eighteenth Century meet the complexities of our own time.


The critical consensus

I cannot recommend this highly enough to you as the alternative Christmas entertainment.

****(*)Phyllis Stephen, The Edinburgh Reporter, 17/11/2018

As the nights draw in, both seasonally and in what feels like the dawn of global endarkenment, a reimagining of history on our own doorstep has rarely possessed such strong foundations.

****(*)Neil Cooper, Coffee-Table Notes, 19/11/2018

A witty evocation of the past.

***(*)(*)Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman, 19/11/2018

A beautifully constructed microcosm of Scottish history, told in five opulent rooms.
