An Edinburgh Christmas Carol
★★★★☆ Timely
There is so much to commend in the return of An Edinburgh Christmas Carol to the Lyceum, where it runs through until December 31.
Mrs Puntila and Her Man Matti
★★☆☆☆ Flat:
Mrs Puntila and Her Man Matti at the Lyceum is full of energy and has no shortage of comic potential. However, the end result is puzzlingly uninvolving.
Local Hero
★★★☆☆ Charming:
Local Hero, the Lyceum’s co-production with the Old Vic, has the authenticity and drive one would expect considering the source material, but fails to add much that is new.
Local Hero Extends Run
Extra fortnight and full cast announced:
The world premiere production of the musical adaptation of Local Hero at the Royal Lyceum has scheduled an additional two weeks of performances as it announces full casting for the show.
Doris, Dolly and the Dressing Room Divas… at Christmas
★★★★★ A Christmas cracker:
The Gilded Balloon Basement in the Rose Street Theatre hosts top-tier talent this Christmas as five fabulous female stars tell their stories… via three spookily talented backstage assistants.
The Divide Parts One and Two
★★★☆☆ Long time coming:
The official Festival’s flagship production of Alan Ayckbourn’s The Divide at the King’s contains multitudes.
Our Ladies Olivier Noms
Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour cast nominated for Olivier:
The entire cast of the NTS co-production with Live Theatre, Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour, has been nominated for the “Best Supporting Actress” award in this year’s Oliviers.
