EdFringe 2018
Corydon Ovium
★★★☆☆ Not baad:
Corydon Ovium, Nightmare Productions’ comedy horror anthology downstairs at the Newsroom, is a decidedly hit-and-miss affair that makes up in gleeful energy for what it lacks in polish.
Tynecastle drama extends run
Extra dates for A War of Two Halves:
The site-specific production of A War of Two Halves at Tynecastle Park has added eight extra performances across four dates for its 2018 edfringe run due to the demand for tickets.
Technicolor
★★★★☆ Extra-terrestrially cool:
Black Bat’s Technicolor is a freewheeling exercise in both nostalgia and modernity that is highly recommended.
Hymns For Robots
★★★☆☆ Electronic dream:
Hymns For Robots, Noctium Theatre’s portrait of electronic music innovator Delia Derbyshire, is an appealingly winsome piece of theatre.
The Steamie
★★★★☆ Strong bond:
Leitheatre make a solid and entertaining evening of it with their take on Tony Roper’s great Scottish comedy, The Steamie, which is at St Serf’s until Saturday.
The WWI Wardrobe Project
★★★☆☆ Historical accuracy:
The WWI Wardrobe Project has emotional force as well as a certain charm as Immersive Response’s production seeks to make 1917 more immediate.
The Pieman Cometh: A Cautionary Football Tale
★★★☆☆ Peh? Meh:
Instantly recognisable situations and types from Scottish football give The Pieman Cometh: A Cautionary Football Tale, at the Gilded Ballon Rose Theatre Basement, a wide appeal.
