Odds, Broads and Frauds

Odds, Broads and Frauds

★★★☆☆ Mixed

In Odds, Broads and Frauds, St Serf’s Players bring a trio of comedies to the stage at Inverleith which make for a somewhat disparate evening-out in terms of tone, but is certainly an entertaining one all round.

Cinderella

★★★☆☆ High Spirited

St Serf’s Players continue their successful panto collaboration with the Trinity Theatre Company for a Cinderella at Inverleith St Serf’s Church Hall that is gutsy and brisk in all the right ways.

The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose

The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose

★★☆☆☆ Not enough zip:

There is plenty to enjoy in St Serf’s Players’ take on one of the oldest pantomimes of all, The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose. However, despite some pleasing traditional elements, it is missing that sparkle of fairy dust that makes panto so enjoyable.

The Haunted Through Lounge…

The Haunted Through Lounge…

★★☆☆☆ Silly but fun:
Wobbly sets, missed cues, mixed-up lines and loudly whispered prompts are all in the script for the mid-eighties am-dram-set comedy taken on by St Serf’s Players for three nights only this week.

It Runs in the Family

It Runs in the Family

“✭✭✭✭✩ Perfect timing”

Skittering along as sharply as a junior doctor on his way to an assignation in the Nurse’s station, St Serf’s cheeky version of Ray Cooney’s hospital farce It Runs in the Family is a real blast.
