SMF in the press and on the web #5

A couple of reviews from the broadsheets have turned up in the newsfeeds today, both written by Rowena Smith. The Herald has an overview of the whole SMF, liking The Lighthouse and Andrew Motion, but not Jennifer Higdon or Wendy Cope (and personally speaking, I don't think you should describe someone else's writing as "doggerel" unless you're damn sure your own writing is up to scratch...) The Guardian has a short 4/5 review for The Lighthouse, praising the production but criticising the layout and the Pickaquoy Centre acoustic.
