Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

The Merchant of Venice
✭✭✭✩✩ Ambitiously intelligent:
Aiming high, Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company’s production of The Merchant of Venice is accomplished and intelligent. If it does not always live up to its potential, it is not for want of trying.
Hamlet

With a cast of only six, Gin & Tonic Productions create an intense and accessible abridged version of Hamlet that leaves a craving for more.
Arcadia – Review
