EPT
Being Earnest
EPT play Wilde at the Church Hill:
Edinburgh People’s Theatre is bringing one of the best loved and best known plays in English (outside Shakespeare), back to the Church Hill Theatre.
Bothered and Bewildered
★★★★☆ Hugely affecting:
Combining laughter and tears, all utterly genuine, Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s production of Bothered and Bewildered at the Church Hill is thoroughly successful.
EPT Workshops
Act Too: Acting workshops for amateur performers:
Edinburgh People’s Theatre is organising Act Too, a series of monthly acting workshops at its club premises at Mayfield Gardens.
Cinderella
★★★★☆ Charming:
Music, dance, fun, bizarre cross-dressing and genuine enjoyment are all in evidence in Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s Cinderella at the Church Hill. In other words, it is a proper old-fashioned pantomime – and a very good one too.
Church Hill at 50
Last call for memorabilia:
As the Church Hill Theatre approaches its Golden Jubilee with a launch event on Wednesday 16 September 2015, organisers are making a last call for memorabilia.
The Fairmer Wants A Wife
✭✭✭✭✩ Warm and funny:
There is nothing remotely groundbreaking about EPT’s The Fairmer Wants A Wife at Mayfield Church. What is provided is a thoroughly enjoyable, very well presented piece of Scottish comedy.
A Guid Cause
✭✭✭✭✩ Head and heart:
Informative, intelligent and packing a considerable emotional punch, Edinburgh People’s Theatre’ world premiere of A Guid Cause is subtle, complex and intriguing.
When We Are Married
✭✭✭✭✩ Charming fun:
Snappy, engaging and funny, Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s production of J.B. Priestley’s When We Are Married mines a rich seam of humour in the timeless subjects of marital discord and snobbery.
Dick Whittington
✭✭✭✩✩ Pure panto:
Big on audience participation and packed with boldly bad jokes, Edinburgh Peoples Theatre version of Dick Whittington at the Church Hill Theatre to Sunday 28, will delight fans of real pantomime.
Church Hill Hitting 50
Edinburgh’s dedicated amateur theatre:
In 2015, it will 50 years since the Church Hill in Morningside opened as a theatre after converting from the Morningside High Church. Gordon Braidwood looks back at events at the time.
