Theatre Paradok
Bare Threads Casting Call
Paradok issue #EdFringe open call:
Edinburgh’s Paradok Theatre has put out an open casting call for Bare Threads, its production for this year’s fringe 2017.
The Nether
★★★☆☆ Morally contentious
Problematic, simply because of its subject matter, The Nether is given a solid and suitably powerful production by student company Paradok Theatre at Checkpoint to Saturday.
Paradok Casting Call
Scottish debut for The Nether:
Edinburgh amateur company Paradok has issued an open casting call for its Scottish premiere of Jennifer Haley’s “provocative” play, The Nether.
Dark Tales
★★☆☆☆ Jumpy
Haunting raw material and a fairly straightforward telling from Theatre Paradok give a good account of this pair of classic Victorian ghost stories, at the Banshee Labyrinth until Thursday.
Lippy
★★★☆☆ Ambitious:
By turns absurd, winsome and tragic, Theatre Paradok’s Lippy at theSpace on the Mile is a challenging, bleakly funny and ultimately impenetrable affair.
The Hothouse
★★★☆☆ Sweltering:
The black humour of the absurd runs through Theatre Paradok’s welcome staging of Pinter’s The Hothouse, at the Assembly Roxy to Saturday.
To Breathe
★★★☆☆ Explorative:
There’s something unnerving about Theatre Paradok’s To Breathe, at Summerhall until Saturday. Its a feeling which begins pre-show and pervades right through the Edinburgh University company’s hour-long production.
The Really Big Diamond
✭✭✭✩✩ Flawed gem
Deft, daft and likeable, The Really Big Diamond is an enjoyable show from Theatre Paradok which successfully overcomes some rather obvious flaws.
Review – A Note Of Dischord
✭✭✭✩✩ Likeable experimentalism:
Theatre Paradok’s A Note Of Dischord is an unclassifiable and engagingly silly hour’s entertainment at The Space @Venue 45 in Jeffrey Street.
