Corpsing
★★★☆☆ Energetic
It is always pleasing to see play titles that are clear hostages to fortune, like New Celts and Red Rabbit’s Corpsing at theSpace Triplex. However, this is nothing to do with forgetting your lines, and everything to do with actual corpses.
Heir Heads
★★★☆☆ Considerable zip:
Heir Heads, Pretty Knickers Productions’ comedy at theSpace on North Bridge, has a cacklingly amoral glee that gives it some force.
Reservoir Dugs
★★★☆☆ Hollywood radge:
Reservoir Dugs by Cat O’Nine Tales at theSpace at Venue 45 is exactly what it appears to be – Reservoir Dogs transplanted to Central Scotland.
Cat O’Casting Call
Cat O’Nine Tales casting call for November show:
Edinburgh grass-roots theatre company Cat O’Nine Tales has put out an open casting call for new play, The Ballad of Melvin Byrne, to be staged at the Wee Red Bar in November 2017.
Green Tea
★★★☆☆ Nightmarish
Scary and well-thought out, Sophie Good’s adaptation of the short Victorian horror story Green Tea finds suitable resonances in contemporary Edinburgh.
A Royal Flush
★★★☆☆ Consistently absurdist
A bundle of guaranteed, surreal comedy, but nothing unexpected or ground-breaking, Cat O’ Nine Tales’ A Royal Flush is a safe bet for an hour of humour at the Fringe.
