Synopsis: set in the 1870;s the play is a mysterious and atmospheric Gothic tale, dealing with sex, death and public health. "As brothels and old-time religion nestle up in the back streets, auld reekie's well-heeled self image is chillingly blighted by death and disease. Obvious gothic antecedents here are Stevenson and Conan Doyle, but there are nods too at David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick. In its brutal depiction of how sexual plague decimates societies great and small, however, it shows that even Trainspotting's darker roots go way back."
- Neil Cooper, The Herald

Synopsis: "Arnott's fascinating play questions the morality of Britain's spies and the spooky underworld of intelligence agents. Ever since the Iraq war, David Kelly's suicide and that deceptive dossier about weapons of mass destruction, spies and their masters have incurred suspicion about their motives and honesty. Cyprus fuels these anxieties by suggesting that the intelligence services' secret, unaccountable and duplicitous procedures may incite, not diminish, terrorism. The dramatic noose tightens thrillingly as the tables turn to devastating effect, and family ties are frailer than loyalty to the old ministerial firm."
- Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard (Critics Choice)

Synopsis: This fine, subtle play allows us to see those things not appreciated by the luckless characters, and perhaps to understand and forgive. The work uses a fantasy situation to dissect reality in a way realism never could, offering a dissection of the inadaquacy if the emotional vocabulary in use in Scotland and voicing a protest against those responsible for that situation. And if it is set in Scotland its resonances can be felt far beyond.
- Joseph Farrell, literary critic
