Church Hill Theatre
It Runs In The Family
★★★★☆ Like a hurricane:
There are breezy comedies – and then there is Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s It Runs In The Family, which soon reaches gale force and stays there.
Sweet Charity
★★★★★ Charity ball:
The minute you walk in the joint, you can see Sweet Charity at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday, is a show of distinction.
Prescription For Murder
★★★☆☆ Pleasing:
Prescription For Murder, from the Edinburgh Makars at the Church Hill Theatre, is one of those odd English crime dramas that provide more reassurance than apprehension.
The Cemetery Club
★★★★☆ Gravely good:
The Cemetery Club is a low-key, deeply traditional play, but in the hands of Edinburgh People’s Theatre it has a gentle resonance that is rather affecting.
Grave comedy for Church Hill
EPT present Menchell favourite:
Edinburgh People’s Theatre return to the Church Hill Theatre this week with four performances of Ivan Menchell’s late Eighties comedy The Cemetery Club.
Hairspray Open Call
Balerno TC announce December 2019 production:

The Sound of Music
★★★★☆ Clear-voiced:
Youth musicals company A-Team Productions has pulled out all the musical stops this week in a hugely enjoyable production of The Sound of Music up at the Church Hill Theatre.
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.
Barrie’s Midsummer reckoning
Threepenny Theatricals take on JM Barrie’s “Peter Pan for Adults”:
Edinburgh amateur company Threepenny Theatricals is stepping up a gear for its second outing as it brings JM Barrie’s Dear Brutus to the Church Hill Theatre for four performances from Thursday 7 Feb 2019.
Little Red Riding Hood
★★★★☆ Traditionally welcome:
There is a great deal in Little Red Riding Hood at the Church Hill Theatre that is involving, warm and funny.
