Babes in the Wood
★★★★☆ Fantastic fun
If you are hankering for a proper family panto after missing out in recent years, you could hardly do better than Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s Babes in the Wood, at the Church Hill until Sunday 18th December.
The Cemetery Club
★★★★☆ Gravely good:
The Cemetery Club is a low-key, deeply traditional play, but in the hands of Edinburgh People’s Theatre it has a gentle resonance that is rather affecting.
Grave comedy for Church Hill
EPT present Menchell favourite:
Edinburgh People’s Theatre return to the Church Hill Theatre this week with four performances of Ivan Menchell’s late Eighties comedy The Cemetery Club.
Cambusdonald Royal
★★★★☆ Knockout knockabout
Mayfield Salisbury Church (Venue 11): Fri 3–Sat 18 Aug 2018
Review by Hugh Simpson
There is an air of freshness and fun to Cambusdonald Royal from Edinburgh People’s Theatre at Mayfield Salisbury Church.
The Diary of Anne Frank
★★★★☆ Necessary:
Combining delicacy, steel and emotional truth, Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s production of The Diary of Anne Frank is both timely and accomplished.
The Auld Alliance
✭✭✭✭✩ Entente Cordiale
Warmly funny and showing an unusual level of thought and care, The Auld Alliance from Edinburgh People’s Theatre is a multi-faceted production where the good hugely outweighs the bad.
The Sorcerer’s Tale
✭✭✭✭✩ Good alchemy
Pawky, earthy and of consistent quality, Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s revival of The Sorcerer’s Tale is the ideal show for anyone wanting to see something very Scottish and very funny.
Heading For A Wedding – Review
There’s a great deal of fun to be had in Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s world premiere of Heading For A Wedding, an omnibus of adaptations of Moliere.
Review – The Steamie
✭✭✭✭✩ Extremely funny revival:
Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s revival of The Steamie, which plays at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday, is thoroughly successful and very, very funny.
