Gilded Balloon
Double Feature
★★★★☆ Double the Laughs:
Powerhouse double act Andy Gray and Grant Stott bring all their comic knowhow to bear on Double Feature from Gilded Balloon at the Rose Theatre.
Jocky Wilson Said
★★★★☆ I’m in heaven:
Blessed memories of a Scottish sporting legend are evoked superbly by Grant O’Rourke in the Gilded Balloon’s Jocky Wilson Said.
Oliver!
★★★★☆ Marvellous:
Bringing Oliver! back to the Fringe at the Rose Theatre, Captivate Theatre brilliantly capture the drama and comedy of the classic musical.
Annie
★★★★☆ Spirited & Heartwarming:
Captivate Theatre’s excellent production of Annie – on until August 14 at the Rose Theatre – brings a lively and contagious enthusiasm to the Fringe.
Assessment
★★★☆☆ Chillingly relevant:
Assessment is a chilling exploration of the future of pensions in a time of austerity, from Shows on a Shoestring at the Rose Theatre for the full fringe.
Smashing Shakespeare
★★★★☆ Slick:
Captivate Theatre has earned a reputation for energetic, witty performances. With Smashing Shakespeare, in the Rose Street Theatre until August 14, it lives up to that expectation.
Brave Macbeth
★★★★☆ Brilliant children’s theatre:
Brave Macbeth from Captivate Theatre at Gilded Ballon venues is everything a children’s musical should be – and educational too.
Gilded Rose
Gilded Balloon programmes Rose Theatre for #EdFringe:
The new Rose Theatre, Peter Schaufuss £1.8M conversion project from the former Charlotte Methodist Chapel, will be programmed by the Gilded Balloon for this year’s fringe.
Grant Stott’s Tales From Behind The Mic
✭✭✭✭✩ Barry:
Broad, cheeky and deceptively carefully crafted, Grant Stott’s solo show Tales From Behind the Mic is a great success.
Frankenstein
★★☆☆☆ Messy:
Well acted but confusingly adapted, Frankenstein: In Darkness We Rise at the Gilded Ballon Wine Bar is an unsatisfying hour of theatre.
