Fringe Management

The Return of Sherlock Holmes
★★★★☆ Genuine
The Return of Sherlock Holmes is an enjoyable and convincing entertainment at Gilded Balloon Teviot and another convincing literary adaptation from Nigel Miles-Thomas and Fringe Management.

Of Mice And Men
★★★★☆ Tragic triumph:
Of Mice and Men, in the Gilded Balloon Teviot Wine Bar, benefits from one fine performance and one exceptional one.

Zsa Zsa And Me
★★★☆☆ Zsa Zsa Voom:
A shaggy dog story that happens to be true is the focus of Nigel Miles-Thomas’s engaging one-man show Zsa Zsa and Me at the Gilded Ballon’s Rose Theatre.

Frankenstein
★★☆☆☆ Messy:
Well acted but confusingly adapted, Frankenstein: In Darkness We Rise at the Gilded Ballon Wine Bar is an unsatisfying hour of theatre.

The Elephant Man
★★★☆☆ Effective:
There is a straightforward effectiveness to Fringe Management and Canny Creatures’ version of The Elephant Man at the Gilded Balloon that helps it overcome its comparative lack of inspiration.
