LOVE'S LABOURS LOST
'There are delicious leading performances from Nicole Cooper and James Ronan as Rosaline and Berowne...one of Berowne’s most passionate and elaborate speeches even wins its own ovation, like an aria brilliantly sung; as if the young Shakespeare’s brilliant, obsessive way with words were finally coming into fashion again, 400 years on.’ -The Scotsman
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
"The casting of two of the strongest actors in this year's...ensemble reaps rich rewards. James Ronan (Benedick)....displays an exceptional facility for the soliloquies and there's a sparky chemistry between the pair. Ronan's comic timing is shown off to splendid effect... The scene in which Benedick and Bertram finally admit their love for each other is as moving as anything I've seen." -The Times
★★★★ "James Ronan delights as the astonished, lovestruck Benedick..." -The Glasgow Herald
