Praise for Shrapnel:

“Campbell’s adaptation…makes a thrilling case for Tormod Caimbeul’s novel, as an astonishingly bold and surreal narrative poem, almost like Alasdair Gray’s Lanark in its ambition, about a Gaelic soul half-lost in urban Scotland”4 starsJoyce McMillan, The Scotsman

“A soaring thriller…under Muireann Kelly’s astute, sensitive direction, something of Shrapnel slices into the soul and lodges”Clare Brennan, The Observer

“Here assured direction meets a powerful cast, notching the drama to a higher level”Torcuil Crichton, The Daily Record
