Jacuzzi by Twilight

★★★★☆ Slick

Taking audiences to the streets of Metroville, Jacuzzi by Twilight is a fast-paced comedy, running on alternate (odd) dates with Edinburgh-based Optimiserables other show, Opportunity in Kind.

Ships

★★☆☆☆ Lacking Nuance

Staged in the bar of the Leith Arches events space off Leith Walk, Ships by Mark Forrest for Chapter Three Productions, is set in a very similar Leith bar in the late 1980s.

An Opportunity in Kind

★★★★☆ Tight ensemble

One of two Fringe shows by Edinburgh-based The Optimiserables, An Opportunity in Kind at theSpace on the Mile, manages to strike a remarkably authentic note in spite of its rather absurd narrative.

Our Town Needs A Nando’s

★★★☆☆ Relatably painful

Our Town Needs A Nando’s, from Hot Mess Productions at theSpace on the Mile for the first week of the Fringe, is a relatable and lived-in coming-of-age comedy with dark themes.

Plano, presented by Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group for EdFringe Week One, feels like David Lynch, Tennessee Williams and Luigi Pirandello formed a fractious throuple in some netherworld multiverse. That is meant as high praise, just don’t expect the play to make any Newtonian kind of sense.
