“BlackWire is certainly a new Scottish company to watch.” - The Reviews Hub
“BlackWire makes an arresting debut with Semi-Skimmed, a one-act dark comedy that expertly balances the mundane reality of small-town life with a creeping, supernatural dread.
The production excels in leaving the audience with more questions than answers, creating a fascinating rabbit hole of suspicion.”
★★★★ - The Reviews Hub
“Semi-Skimmed Has been put together with love, yes, but also a rare precision. The real pull of the whole show is Myles’ writing and direction. It is elevated by a production and design so strong that it takes you by surprise. “
★★★★ - Flora Gosling Review
“A bold, unforgettable piece of new writing. Semi Skimmed by Cormac Myles is a sensational piece of new theatre that firmly captures the audience from the outset. This gripping one-act play takes us on a compelling journey, balancing sharp, hilarious one-liners with an undercurrent of tension that keeps you hooked throughout.“
