Hersterectomy
★★★☆☆ Promising
Edinburgh based theatre collective The Counterminers explore female reproductive rights in Hersterectomy, their new devised piece, performing somewhat appropriately in a venue that is reminiscent of a womb.
Translations
★★★★☆ Clear
Edinburgh University Theatre Company bring a welcome clarity to Translations, at the Bedlam to Saturday, in a production which gets inside the many shades of meaning to Brian Friel’s script.
Jesus Christ Superstar
★★★☆☆ Full blast
There is one big sing on offer up at the Church Hill Theatre this week, and two big pairs of lungs which are equal to the task in the Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group’s staging of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Cheeky Girls
★★★★☆ Unbounded promise
The Counterminers’ Cheeky Girls, at theSpace @ Niddry St for the Fringe’s final week, is a comic drama of almost unlimited potential.
Welcome to the Cabaret
★★★★★ Full on
EU Footlights has wandered down the hill to the Edinburgh Academy Magnusson Centre where their Showchoir’s Welcome to the Cabaret is as good a portmanteau production as any I have seen.
