Annie Jr.
★★★☆☆ Entertaining:
Local youngsters from Edinburgh Youth Theatre put on a lively and entertaining performance in their rendition of Annie, aptly named Annie Jr., in TheSpace @ Niddry Street.
How Not To Drown
★★★☆☆ Human drama:
How Not To Drown at the Traverse is an involving and humane piece of theatre, detailing stories that need to be heard. However – in theatrical terms – problems of structuring cause its impact to be diminished.
All Shook Up
★★★★☆ Highly entertaining
Young Critics Scheme:
Featuring many of Elvis Presley’s greatest hits, Captivate Theatre’s production of All Shook Up at Gilded Balloon’s Rose Street Theatre for the first week of the Fringe is a rollercoaster of love.
13 The Musical
★★★★☆ Heartfelt:
Captivate Theatre returns to this year’s Fringe and Gilded Balloon’s Rose Street Theatre with another fun and exciting production in the coming of age musical, 13 The Musical.
Brave Macbeth
★★★★☆ Brilliant
Young critics scheme review:
Captivate Theatre’s production of Brave Macbeth directed by Sally Lyall at Pleasance Above, shines a completely different light on Shakespeare’s tragedy with modern twists and props galore.
