Some Kind of Theatre
The Grandmothers Grimm
★★★★☆ Enjoyably illuminating:
Literate and relevant, playful and serious, The Grandmothers Grimm at Paradise in The Vault is an involving, thought-provoking and extremely enjoyable hour.
EdFringe Theatre – Grassroots Companies
Edinburgh’s Grassroots theatre companies at EdFringe:
As the fringe continues to grow, so does the input from Edinburgh-based companies. This year there are an unprecedented 93 different productions in the theatre section of the Fringe programme alone.
Formation Fest
2019 Formation Festival Listings:
Annexe Arts Hub’s Formation Festival returns this week for six days of new, innovative and small scale work with a dozen shows at Assembly Roxy.
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.
EdFringe Theatre – Grassroots companies
Edinburgh’s Grassroote theatre companies on the Fringe:
There are more shows made by Edinburgh-based companies at this year’s fringe than all the shows at the 1972 Edinburgh fringe put together. Listing of theatre presented by Grassroots companies at EdFringe 2018.

The Edinburgh Horror Festival returns from this Friday evening, 27 October, with a five night frenzy of foul deeds and frightening theatrics in the lead up to Halloween on Tuesday.
Julius Caesar (with pirates!)
★★★☆☆ Unlucky:
Constantly battling against the elements, Julius Caesar (with pirates!) delivers no more or less than you can expect of an amateur free fringe show in the Black Market on Market Street.
Orlando
★★★☆☆ Literary:
Some Kind of Theatre’s quirky and comprehensive take on Virginia Woolf’s Orlando – at the Banana Barrel theatre to Saturday – plays directly with its literary antecedents
