Edinburgh Theatre Arts
Passing Places
★★★★☆ Charming
After too long away, Edinburgh Theatre Arts are back in Stockbridge with their take on Passing Places, exhibiting a vibrant spirit and huge delight.
EdFringe Theatre – Amateur Companies
Edinburgh’s Amateur theatre companies at EdFringe:
As the fringe continues to grow, so does the input from Edinburgh-based companies. This year there are an unprecedented 93 different productions in the theatre section of the Fringe programme alone.
Fondly Remembered
★★★★☆ Involving:
Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ Fondly Remembered, at St Ninian’s until Saturday, is a production of considerable charm and emotional truth.
Edinburgh’s One Act Finalists
Arbery Productions through to Scottish final:
Two of Edinburgh’s four entries came away with awards at the Eastern Division round of the SCDA One Act Play Festival held at the Church Hill Theatre over the weekend.
Leitheatre tops one-acts
Zoo Story takes first place at One Act Fest
Leitheatre has taken first place at the Edinburgh District round of the SCDA’s One Act Festival at the Church Hill Theatre this week with Edward Albee’s Zoo Story and got highest marks for acting.
EdFringe Theatre – Amateur companies
Edinburgh’s Amateur theatre companies on the Fringe:
There are more shows made by Edinburgh-based companies at this year’s fringe than all the shows at the 1972 Edinburgh fringe put together. Here’s our listing of the Amateur Theatre Companies.
Moon over Buffalo
★★★☆☆ Comic capers:
A strong sense of purpose and plenty of pace ensure that Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of Moon Over Buffalo at St Ninian’s Church Hall is farcical for all the right reasons.
Improbable Fiction
★★★★☆ Varieties of fun:
Edinburgh Theatre Arts are not the only group presenting Alan Ayckbourn this year. While other productions may be more high-profile, it is unlikely they will be much more fun than this production of Improbable Fiction at St Ninian’s.
The Memory of Water
★★★☆☆ Fluid:
There are some very good performances of recognisable human dilemmas in Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of The Memory of Water at St Ninian’s.
Enron
★★★☆☆ Ambitious:
Hugely ambitious, Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of Lucy Prebble’s Enron at St Ninian’s is uneven but always intriguing, and gets a lot right.
