REVIEW: This Is A Gift (Pitlochry Festival Theatre)

This Is A Gift - ★★★★★ - Luminous Pitlochry Festival Theatre: Tue 24 June – Th 11 Sept 2025 Review by Rebecca Mahar Review commissioned by, and originally published on All Edinburgh Theatre, 9 July 2025. Edited by Thom Dibdin. This Is A Gift , Kolbrún Björt Sigfúsdóttir’s Leith-based retelling of the Midas myth performed solo by Blythe Jandoo, creeps into your heart and slowly squeezes it in a golden vice. This is a feat of writing and storytelling that reminds us that myths don’t always have a happy ending — and shouldn’t. It runs in the PFT Studio for five performances only, with two matinees remaining on Fri 5 and Thurs 11 September 2025. Blythe Jandoo in This Is A Gift. Pic: Tommy Ga-Ken Wan.
