Islander A New Musical

“Under the direction of Amy Draper (who conceived the show), Islander unfolds with a nimbleness that doesn't sacrifice clarity: A small road case on castors constitutes Hahnji Jang's set, if you don't count the sound equipment that comes out of it. Jang costumes Findlay in a jumpsuit that distinguishes Jenny and Arran as outsiders, while Tennick wears an oversized and well-worn wool cardigan that serves better than any painted backdrop or projection of the Scottish isles ever could. This is a show that uses few materials to tell a story of looming environmental catastrophe, living up to the ideals it wants to convey. It should be no surprise that it was such a hit at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.” - Zachary Stewart for Theatremania
