Miss Lockwood Isn't Well Review A Play A Pie and A Pint Glasgow Oran Mor (2026)
Miss Lockwood isn't Well by James Reilly, is a bitter/sweet comedy played out over an hour long therapist session. Starring Sill Game Stalwarts Jane McGarry and Mark Cox with Karen Young.
It starts with Miss Lockwood visiting her therapist ex GP turned to therapist Dr Freer. From their conversation we can work out Miss Lockwood is a school teacher who seems to be going through emotional stress. She refuses to believe this and feels she can return to work immediately. She hopes the school priest Fr Macklin will help, however when we find out why she is there, Saints mysteriously appearing in her class room to help her for the most banal reasons he is firmly of the mind she is a crackpot!
This cracking wee play looks at the traditional idea of religion being very stoic, maybe in the modern world a heads up if the fish is off or where your missing earing is would be more relevant to the younger generations.
Jane McGarry as Dr Freer provides the mediation between Karen Young's Miss Lockwood and biting comedy of Mark Cox's Fr Macklin. Mark gets pretty much all the funny lines and they are timed to perfection.
Will Miss Lockwood get her three holy secrets and what moviestar frock will the virgin Mary be Wearing?
To get the answers book a ticket for the play when it goes to the Trav!
