Face

- Joyce Mcmillan

Isobel and Morag are twin sisters but that’s where the similarity ends. Their lives and their lifestyles could hardly be more different, as Morag succumbs to the duties and expectatio­ns of convention­al middleaged life, while Isobel kicks over the traces in spectacula­r style. In Peter Arnott’s brilliant portrait of two faces of modern Scotland, Janette Foggo turns in one of the great Scottish theatre performanc­es of the last halfdecade, as this powerful double-bill – first seen at Perth Theatre and A Play, A Pie And A Pint – goes on tour around Scotland’s west coast, in a new production from Mull Theatre. Cove Burgh Hall tonight, and on tour until 16 September, www.comar.co.uk
