The Garden
★★★★☆ Insightful dystopia:
Truth permeates The Garden, Zinnie and John Harris’ semi-opera, commissioned by Aberdeen’s sound Festival and playing off-site at the Traverse.
A Slow Air
“✭✭✭✭✩ Riveting intimacy”
Two exceptional performances make Borderline’s A Slow Air a production that demands to be seen.
Review – Some Other Mother
The words ‘produced in association with the Scottish Refugee Council’ on a theatre programme will create a variety of reactions. Any suggestion, however, that AJ Taudevin’s new play would put worthy points-scoring ahead of drama are soon dispelled by an involving and poetic performance.
Review – The Government Inspector
✭✭✭✭✩ Hilarious and vicious:
Timeless and timeous comedy from the redoubtable Communicado in this latest version of Nikolai Gogol’s classic tale of corruption, produced in collaboration with Aberystwyth Arts Centre.
Review – Pass the Spoon
★★★★★ Dancin’:
Magnetic North and the Red Note Ensemble’s collaboration in David Shrigley’s “sort of opera” is a feast of fun with moments of utter genius. If you love the absurd or bizarre then see it!
