Greenside @ Nicolson Square
The WWI Wardrobe Project
★★★☆☆ Historical accuracy:
The WWI Wardrobe Project has emotional force as well as a certain charm as Immersive Response’s production seeks to make 1917 more immediate.
The F Words
★★☆☆☆ Lacking in fury:
There is a pleasing energy and political commitment to Pinched! Theatre’s feminist entertainment The F Words at Greenside, but as a show it fails to cohere.
That Deadly Noir Magic
✭✭✭✩✩ More deadly than magic:
Dani Iannarelli’s love letter to film noir and jazz combines film clips, music and a noirish plot. The outcome is too confused to be a success, although parts of the performance are very enjoyable indeed.
The Last Kill
✭✭✭✭✩ Traumatic honesty:
A refreshing look at the human consequences of war is taken by newcomers, Contemporary Theatre of Scotland, who aren’t afraid to tell us what they really think.
