The Studio
Spring Awakening
★★★★☆ Spring in the step:
Dark and bruising in many parts, TBC Productions has created a properly adult production of alt rock musical Spring Awakening, which is at the Festival Studio to Saturday.
The Homecoming
★★★☆☆ Reverent:
Fidelity to the text characterises Leitheatre’s The Homecoming at the Festival Theatre Studio. The result is a well-crafted production that could probably do with showing a little less respect.
Teddy’s coming home
Leitheatre stage Pinter’s The Homecoming:
Leitheatre is returning to the Studio at the Festival Theatre this week, with four performances of Harold Pinter’s morally ambiguous and darkly humorous The Homecoming, from Wednesday 16 May 2018.
It’s Capital Theatres!
New name for body running Festival and King’s:
The arms-length charity which runs Edinburgh’s Festival, King’s and Studio theatres, is changing its name to Capital Theatres.
The Sunshine Ghost
★★★☆☆ Reassuring:
Spirited and melodic, the first small-scale run of The Sunshine Ghost is not yet the finished article but shows signs of developing into something popular.
Sunshine Daydream
World premiere for new musical:
A new musical by Edinburgh-based pairing of storyteller Andy Cannon and composer Richard Ferguson had its world premiere in The Studio this weekend before setting off on a Scottish tour.
Little Shop of Horrors
★★★☆☆ Midsummer fun:
There’s bundles of fun and bonkers B-movie mayhem in Little Shop of Horrors, the debut musical from TBC Productions, which is at the Studio on Potterrow to Saturday.
Midsummer Horror Shop
TBC Productions debut with Little Shop of Horrors:
Brand new amateur musicals company, TBC Productions is making its debut on Midsummer night with a new production of cult classic Little Shop of Horrors at the Festival Theatre Studio.
Bouncers
★★★★☆ Well observed:
Crisp in its delivery and twisting in its purpose, Leitheatre’s production of John Godber’s Bouncers hits many of its marks in a strong production at the Festival Theatre Studio
Takin’ Over The Asylum
✭✭✭✭✩ Loonies in tune
Blurring the boundaries between stage and audience in the most suitable of ways, Leitheatre’s fine production of Takin’ Over the Asylum seeps out into the auditorium of the Festival Theatre Studio.
