CATS AWARD For The Government Inspector

Theatre critic for The Skinny, Gareth K Vile, said: “The nominations for Best Use of Music and Sound demonstrate the diversity of approaches within contemporary Scottish theatre. From a unique take on the musical to a thirteen hour promenade performance, Scottish companies have displayed the range of ways in which music is often at the core of the theatrical experience. Alasdair Macrae, in the Government Inspector, led the cast in a series of musical interludes that added to the play's atmosphere of Russian corruption and jovial comedy. The cast revealed their musical skills with casual ease: while Macrae managed to find the perfect accompaniment to this feel-good satire.”
