beauty
★★★★☆ Thought-provoking:
The disturbing consequences of our obsession with fame and celebrity are explored in beauty, Claire Wood’s new play for the Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group.
Death and the Maiden
✭✭✭✭✩ Painfully poignant:
Emotionally charged, Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group’s production of Death and a Maiden is poignant, gripping and full of pain.
Titus Andronicus
✭✭✭✩✩ There will be blood:
Bloody, nasty and noisy, the Grads’s production of Titus Andronicus at the Assembly Roxy has all of the ingredients of a memorable shocker but it is let down by some confused moments and a surprising politeness.
Festen
✭✭✭✭✩ Dark matters:
There is a fierce intensity to the Grads’ Festen at Adam House, in a consistently strong production that crackles with energy.
The Duchess of Malfi
✭✭✭✩✩ Dark drama
The Grads offer up a dose of Machiavellian plotting, madness and multiple murder at the Royal Scots Club in a gripping production of the Duchess of Malfi.
