Roxana Silbert
The Girls of Slender Means
★★★☆☆ Poignant
Gabriel Quigley’s adaptation of Muriel Spark’s The Girls of Slender Means for the Lyceum is an enjoyable and wonderfully acted piece of theatre, that does justice to its source’s substance if not its ambition.
ADULTS
★★★★☆ More than a sex comedy
ADULTS, the new play from Kieran Hurley, writer of 2019 hit Mouthpiece, brings Conleth Hill, currently starring in the Power of Parker and known to many for his role in Game of Thrones, to the Edinburgh Fringe.
Lyceum 23/24 season ticket launched
Lyceum announces biggest season in years
The Lyceum has announced its 2023/24 subscription season, with the biggest programme since 2018. A strongly Scottish and literary theme is balanced by a series of collaborations with companies from Scotland, the UK and further afield.
Rebus full casting
Full cast announced for Long Shadows:
The full cast has been announced for Rebus: Long Shadows, which tours to the Edinburgh King’s in October after opening at Birmingham Rep, while Robin Lefevre will now direct.
Rebus casting
Cathy Tyson joins Rebus cast as Siobhan:
Cathy Tyson and John Stahl are to join Charles Lawson in the first Rebus play, Long Shadows, which is touring to the King’s for a week this October 2018.
What Shadows
★★★☆☆ Puzzling:
There is a delicate romanticism to What Shadows that is at odds with its subject matter. An excellent central performance and high production values cannot ever quite overcome some problematic elements.
Lyceum Season 2017-18
Details of 17/18 season announced:
The Lyceum is to stage ten shows in its 2017-18 season, the second in David Greig’s tenure as artistic director and the final year in the current funding round.
Lyceum season introduction
A time to take risks:
The Lyceum’s artistic director, David Greig, talks about the background to the 2017/18 season and his reasoning behind it.
Anita and Me
★★★☆☆ Indistinct:
Seventies teenager Meena lives in Tollington, a former mining village in England’s Black Country in Anita and Me, on at the King’s until Saturday.
Of Mice and Men
★★★☆☆ Faithful:
Clearly told and doggedly true to its source, Of Mice and Men at the King’s is a solidly effective production that never quite sparks into life.
