What readers are saying

Readers have mixed feelings about the play, noting its emotional depth but acknowledging a certain awkwardness in dialogue. Some find it particularly relevant for architects, while others describe it as depressing. The portrayal of an LGBT relationship receives positive mention, though the play's overall impact seems polarizing.

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)
