One Last Dunce
A tribute to the human spirit, its values and those who go their own way in life regardless of others - particularly those pretentious others with which one went to school. Yet, it's an uneasy mix of Scots’ whimsy, gallows humor and street-smart naturalism that is in danger of ending-up nowhere in particular by being unable to fully weave its stylistic strands into a coherent whole.
Nevertheless, this is in keeping with the shambolic lives of most the characters; the playing of all concerned is immaculate and the humour gentle and evenly paced. Especial credit must go to Neve McINTOSH as the narrator Fitz’s wife who makes their relationship entirely believable in her neatly-understated way.
