EUTC
Edinburgh Remembers
Theatres stand up to remember the Armistice:
As the centenary of the Armistice at the end of the First World War approaches on Sunday 11 November 2018, a number of plays and performances in Edinburgh are marking the event.
Jerusalem
★★★★☆ Furious energy:
The EUTC’s production of Jez Butterworth’s celebrated Jerusalem at the Bedlam has so much drive and chutzpah that it is an undoubted success.
Cyprus Avenue
★★★★☆ Brutal:
Brutal to a point which is almost beyond comprehension, the EUTC production of Cyprus Avenue, at the Bedlam to Saturday, fools with laughter before stunning you to silence.
Eight
★★★★☆ Powerful monologues:
There is a confidence and spirit to Eight, at the Bedlam, that makes for highly successful theatre.
Tom at the Farm
★★★★☆ Compelling:
The energy and commitment of Tom at the Farm at the Bedlam are more than enough to overcome some less convincing moments and provide a compellingly dark spectacle.
Joe at the helm…
EUTC stage UK premier of Bouchard hit:
The Edinburgh University Theatre Company is staging the UK premiere of Michel Marc Bouchard’s Tom at the Farm at the Bedlam, opening on February 7 2018, under the direction of Joe Christie.
A View From The Bridge
★★★☆☆ Well told:
A View from the Bridge, Arthur Miller’s great tragedy of loyalty and miss-placed love in the tenements of the waterfront slums of 1950s New York is given a solid production from the EUTC at Bedlam this week.
Sugar And Salt
★★☆☆☆ Chalk and cheese:
In Sugar and Salt, EUTC’s production at the Bedlam, writer/director Louisa Doyle displays a keen ear for dialogue and a facility with words. However, in the end, the result is never truly cohesive.
The Diary of Anne Frank
★★★★☆ All too real:
Well performed, well directed and extremely affecting, EUTC’s Diary of Anne Frank at the Bedlam is a thoroughly timely production.
Coriolanus
★★★★☆ Timely:
EUTC’s production of Coriolanus at the Bedlam is a pertinent and particularly well staged production.
