Scottish Storytelling Centre
At A Stretch
★★★★★ Energetic:
At a Stretch is a comedy physical theatre show, with two people dancing, doing gymnastics and jumping on poles.
Is This a Dagger? The Story of Macbeth
★★★★☆ Scary and funny:
Is this is a Dagger? is a one-man show by Andy Cannon and is a version of Macbeth. It is at the Storytelling Centre until this weekend. It’s definitely for over-eights, or maybe over-nines.
Where The Crow Flies
★★★★☆ Complex:
Subtly written and excellently performed, Where The Crow Flies, In Motion Theatre Company’s touring production, is a lucid and compelling tale.
Bring me the head of Johnny Murdock
✭✭✭✭✩ Slick trick:
Sharp, dynamic and oozing attitude, Strange Town Youth Theatre bring all the dynamism of cinema action onto the Netherbow stage for one night only.
Tragic Magic
✭✭✩✩✩ Promising fusion
Part of the Edinburgh International Magic Festival, this one man show by Michael Neto fuses together magic with theatre in the story of a man who has to make a choice between the thing that he loves and the one that he loves.
Review – The Edibles
✭✭✭✭✭ Perfectly pitched
Care and attention to details make Grinagog Theatre’s magnificent little production something very special as it flits into the Scottish Storytelling Centre for just four shows in two days.
Review – Ban This Filth!
Gender and sexual identity are on the agenda as Alan Bissett returns for a one-off performance of his one-man show Ban This Filth!, to benefit the Edinburgh Women’s Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre.
Review – The Weegie Board, A West Coast Ghost Story
There are plenty of shivers down the spine on offer from Scottish Youth Theatre in their short but entertaining production of David Cosgrove’s The Weegie Board.
Review – Luke Jermay: 6th Sense
There are places in Edinburgh where you definitely wouldn’t get away with calling someone a mentalist to their face – but Luke Jermay probably has the word writ large somewhere among the patchwork of tattoos that cover his body.
Review – Small Creatures
Strange Town Young Company burst onto the stage of the Scottish Storytelling Centre this week, showing that local, grass roots theatre is more than merely green shoots.
