SCO, City Hall, Glasgow
 Monday 12th May 2008

The Making of Doubt, Tramway, Glasgow
 Monday 12th May 2008
Review: The first doubt hits you right away: six figures, all with their backs to the audience and all wearing hoodies – who’s who, here? And even when the live dancers start moving around with the two life-size dummies, it’s still not always clear who is initiating the moves.

Midori, RSAMD, Glasgow
12:15am Friday 9th May 2008
