Wee Stories

Iain Johnstone is wonderful as dad, unfolding the experience of his light bulb moment with energy, excitement, intelligence and passion. He uses simple household objects and basic pieces of costume to illustrate the wonders of the universe with great inventiveness. The magic of the production is, however, a synthesis of creative and technical input. A blackboard behind dad is the base for really captivating visual effects which are integrated seamlessly into the performance, including brief interludes of film and music, and there s a backdrop of beguiling music from David Trouton. Hats off also to the interpreter who kept perfect pace with Iain Johnstone at the BSL interpreted production we attended.
