Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather
★★★☆☆ Well-turned
Amidst the noise, rituals and trappings of pantomime and Christmas, Strawmoddie’s take on Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather provides a welcome parody of our seasonal excess, at the Pleasance Theatre to Sunday.
Julius Caesar Must Die
★★★★☆ Committed
Myths Unbound and New Celts charge through Julius Caesar Must Die at theSpace on the Mile with fire and real purpose.
Prometheus Bound (Io’s Version)
★★★☆☆ Frustrating
An almost wilfully uneven recasting of Greek myth, Prometheus Bound (Io’s Version) – from New Celts and Myths Unbound at theSpace on the Mile – fascinates and exasperates in almost equal measure.
Dear Brutus
★★★★☆ Old world charm:
Threepenny Theatricals’ Dear Brutus at the Church Hill is a resolutely odd piece, hugely uneven in tone, but discharged with such grace and skill that is compulsively watchable.
