gordiegords Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Just back from this, absoutely brilliant with a mini tour of the stadium too, some funny bits in there but very emotional, would urge folk to get along to this, has peaked my interest in finding out more about Jimmy Speedie, who i share the same second name but cant seem to find any links, when i looked at the picture of him after the show i'm convinced he has that speedie nose! anyway, great show and well done to all involved.

Seymour M Hersh Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Spoke with someone today who was there on Sunday. He said it was outstanding. Sarted off in the new bar then went up to one of the stands where the narrator took them through the first game of the 1914 season a win against the league champions (celtic). The chap did a bit of going mental (c'mon the Hearts type stuff) then there was some radio commentary (I guess mimicking how it might have sounded) and after it the narrator chap said a 1-0 win in the first home game of the season against the champions. Seems like only yesterday!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu40 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Saw this last Thursday. Excellent show. Highly recommended. Good to see some non hearts fans there as well, as it deserves to be seen by everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised by that. Haven't read anything but good reviews about the show and the performances. It's a unique show using different parts of the stadium. Makes it a more enjoyable experience rather than having 60 people sitting crammed in to a small venue that is roasting.

I know that Tynecastle played a big part in the atmosphere of the story however even a small tour of local theatre's could be an option IMO.
