“A mammoth production with an amazing set based on Edinburgh Castle, fine costumes, haunting original score and film interludes makes for a stunning theatrical experience”
The Big Issue
“Middle Ground’s adaptation is commited and focused. Every detail is perfect. This passion for perfection seeps into the audience and you are aware you are in the presence of a troupe who care very deeply about getting it right”
Theatreworld Internet Magazine
“Excellent production... Rivetting... both leading roles are given towering performances... there’s a large cast, every one of which is completely convincing. Tunes of Glory is an old-fashioned play with strong characters, a strong story line an and ending which has real impact. I only wish there was more like it.”
Surrey Advertiser
“An inspirational staging and strong cast... a large and impressive set draws the audience into a class-ridden, rank-conscious world... plenty of power and passion.”
Farnham Herald
“What an ambitious project...a tremendous challange, and Michael Lunney has risen to it with flair and imagination... the show was powerful and dramatic and characters were strongly and skillfully drawn, and expertly portrayed”
The British Theatre Guide
“Everything was spot-on, the army attitudes, rituals, uniforms, salutes. Attention to detail gave this well-paced production its depth, the fine acting gave it its edge... an absorbing production, right up to the shocking ending. Excellent.”
Chester Chronicle
“James Kennaway’s classic was filmed in 1960 but here Middle Ground Theatre Company make a great job of the stage version by Michael Lunney. They bring out every nuance, played with full weight in the murky Scottish castle in peacetime winter... top rank performances from a cast of 15 ...its the men in kilts who shine in this superb evolution from the acclaimed novel and screenplay”
Saga Radio
“Film to play with military precision...The principals march boldly away from two famous cinema turns... a show enhanced by film footage, an eye for detail and actors who (a rare thing) make convincing soldiers”
Nottingham Evening Post
