Went to see it tonight

Its a fairly faithful rendition of the Making of Hibernian by Alan Lugton up to the time the club was reformed after the death of Cannon Hannan and consequently the story was well known to me.

Its in the lower East Stand concourse and takes I would guess 100-200, at least half of whom will need to stand for the hour and a half.

We sat at one end and the only criticism I could have was that the actors weren't miked up and some of the dialogue was out of my earshot but I am a bit mutton so it may have been just me.

One of the more enjoyable things I have seen at the Festival, but that's maybe just because the subject matter was known to and of interest to me.

Words of warning: there are I think only teas and coffees available and the toilets close before the performance so don't go thinking you can get tanked up or with a full bladder :-)

LD and Darren were there tonight

If you are undecided I would say give it a go

I was there last night & echo pretty much all the comments above. Well worth going to if you can get a ticket. Was good for my sons to appreciate a bit more about our history.
Sir Tom was in attendance too. Would guess it might have been emotional for him as the actors would have been recreating part of his family history.
