Orla O'Loughlin's Traverse directorial debut, The Artist Man and the Mother Woman opened to a packed house last night, and has already won praise from the audience and critics alike. The crowd was  buzzing with enthusiasm for Morna Pearson's tragicomic exploration of small town life - here are just a few of their insights:
  
"Beautiful, funny and very, very moving."     

"Thoroughly entertainingly dark."

"A great piece of work."
