Balquhidder is just the BEST. I love the bit with Alan's piping too—Davie admits that Rob is the technically better player, but only Alan gets the 'ravishing' :D
how cool to see two pieces of media that tell the same story in kindred ways while both feeling like the best and truest version of the tale.
I know, right! I really, really love how faithful the play is–'kindred' is the way to put it—while being so non-literally faithful, if that makes sense, and how much love and joy it has for the story. And all the little references to bits of the book that didn't make it in properly are great (I love the 'be-Davied' line especially).
I look forward to the proper review and whatever fic may follow :D
