What readers are saying

Synopsis

"The most important playwright to have emerged north of the border in years."

(Scotsman)

The Architect charts the rise and fall of Leo Black, once an idealistic and idolised designer, whose magnificent visions are now crumbling, along with his family, in the light of grubby reality.

"Provides convincing evidence of David Greig's confident transition from a dramatist of promise to one of stature."

(Indpendent)
