Artist Unknown by Sue Glover
Cast: 3, all female
"Sue Glover's short play is an absorbing account which not only offers colourful vignettes of Mackintosh and Eardley's quite different lives and styles of work but also makes cogent parallels with the work of women artists today ... By focusing on fascinating personal details Glover abstracts individual experiences to the general, thus addressing the marginalisation of women artists with sweeping effective strokes."
Sara Villiers, The Herald
"So Cassie is the Artist Unknown of the title and the fulcrum on which the play hinges. It is her meetings with the ghosts of Margaret Mackintosh and Joan Eardley, as they relive their colourful and sometimes painful experiences, that make the play."

The Seal Wife by Sue Glover
Cast: 6, 1 male and 5 female
"A riveting and magical piece of theatre that takes as its premise the legend of the Silkies, a race of seals who are known to come ashore, take on human form, marry unsuspecting humans, bear them children and then go back to the sea. In Sue Glover's wonderful interpretation of this folk-story we are transported, body and soul to a fishing community steeped in such superstitions."
The London Fringe
"It's about people's attraction for the different - of man's for woman, the hunter for the hunted - Alec is as enthralled by Rona's female strangeness as by her seal-self. It's a slight piece, a brief legendary cameo, but its virtues are intensity of emotion and the juxtaposition of misty legend with the harsh reality of its south Fife coast setting."
