A Requiem For Edward Snowden

A Requiem For Edward Snowden

✭✭✭✩✩ Mourning becomes electronica:
A Requiem For Edward Snowden, the ‘digital opera’ at Stockbridge Church, has an eerie contemporaneity, treating political concerns in a way that speaks more of sorrow than of anger.

No Exit?

✭✭✩✩✩ Closed in:
M and E Theatre’s No Exit? is a strangely diffuse production, with plenty of energy but not much cohesion.

Help Yourself

Help Yourself

✭✭✩✩✩ Mealy-mouthed:
Help Yourself, Foolproof Theatre’s play about injustice and self-reliance at home and abroad, has its heart in the right place but is strangely ineffectual.

Bakersfield Mist

Bakersfield Mist

✭✭✩✩✩ Bakersfield missed:

Much Ado About Nothing

Much Ado About Nothing

✭✭✭✩✩ Mixed success:
Arkle’s Much Ado About Nothing at the Royal Scots Club overcomes a less than well thought-out central concept to deliver a solid, enjoyable production.
