Shakespeare and Ravenhill for #EdFringe Shows:

EUSC take on the Shrew
New look at Shakespeare’s troubling work:
Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company is this week taking on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew – a tricky choice given the misogyny which underpins its comedy, but one which the company is tackling head on.
Twelfth Night
★★★★☆ Kaleidoscopic:
Shifting emotions are filtered through autumnal sunlight in the Lyceum’s Twelfth Night, with as much defiant sadness on view as happy resolution.
Twelfth Night
★★★☆☆ Rumbustious jollity:
Charging at Shakespeare at full speed and with all comic guns blazing, Some Kind of Theatre’s production of Twelfth Night at Paradise in the Vault will win no prizes for subtlety but should please a wide audience.
Much ado about Sicily
EU Shakespeare Soc’s take on Much Ado About Nothing
The Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company is taking on Much Ado About Nothing for its first foray into the Fringe, with a six night run at theSpace @ Niddry Street.
Kiss Me, Kate
★★★★☆ Sparkling:
Visually and musically, Opera North’s Kiss Me, Kate is something of a feast at the Festival Theatre until Saturday.
Macbeth
★★☆☆☆ Darkly modest:
The Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Company take on Shakespeare’s Macbeth at Assembly Roxy this week, in a production which leans into all the horror and gore the tragedy reveals.
EUSC Open Call
Much Ado About Nothing for EdFringe:
Edinburgh University Shakespeare Society is to stage its first ever EdFringe production and has put out and open call to auditions for Much Ado About Nothing, running in week three of EdFringe 2018.
Romeo and Juliet
★★★☆☆ Full blooded:
There is plenty to like about the Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company’s full-blooded, modern dress production of Romeo and Juliet at the Pleasance Theatre, to Saturday.
Brave Macbeth
★★★★☆ Enjoyably educational:
Brave Macbeth, presented by Gilded Balloon in the Rose Theatre Basement, is a beautifully pitched children’s musical combining the Scottish Play with tunes, humour and shameless messing about.
