Becquer’s Legends
★★★☆☆ Lingering frights
Becquer’s Legends would perhaps be best suited to a Halloween telling, but Crested Fools nevertheless succeed in finding the chill of these spooky offerings in the sauna-like venue of Paradise in the Vault.
Curtains
★★★★☆ Swishingly good
The Edinburgh University Savoy Operatic Group make a great showing with their production of Kander and Ebb’s musical comedy whodunnit, Curtains, in Paradise at Augustines for the first week of the Fringe.
Sunshine on Leith
★★★★☆ Brilliant
Captivate Theatre’s production of Sunshine on Leith returns for a full run of the fringe at the Rose Theatre after last year’s sell-out run at the pop-up MultiStory venue
The Addams Family – A New Musical
★★★★☆ Fantastically fun
Captivate Theatre presents The Addams Family – A New Musical at the Rose theatre in Rose Street for a slightly curtailed run up to Wednesday 24.
Wilf
★★★★☆ Rip-roaring
Eighties power ballads fill Traverse One for the return of James Ley’s Wilf, an energising and sparkling show which will have you snorting with laughter from the very start.
