Friday Night at the Horror Fest
I SEE RED: ★★☆☆☆ Over ambitious
Sycamore Grove: ★★★★☆ Satisfying
The Shadow in the Dark: ★★★☆☆ Spooky
McGrath’s 80th marked
Magnetic North revive McGrath’s Dream Train
Edinburgh’s Magnetic North theatre company is streaming a new performance of its first ever production, The Dream Train by Tom McGrath, on what would have been the playwright’s eightieth birthday.
The Happiness Project
★★★★★ Queering the scene:
The first thing that strikes about The Happiness Project is the colours. Shocking pink and neon yellow on a plain background and plastic-grass floor.
___Is Where The Heart Is
★★★☆☆ Plenty to say:
Ideas of identity and displacement lie at the centre of ___ Is Where the Heart Is, Birds of Paradise and Creative Electric’s new co-production which began its Scottish tour with two performances at North Edinburgh Arts.
Desperation Bingo
★★★☆☆ Not quite clickety-clicking:
There’s silliness with a social conscience at Creative Electric’s bingo-based show, Desperation Bingo, at the Biscuit Factory.
