Protest

Hannah Lavery’s Protest at the Studio as part of the Edinburgh International Children’s Festival proves that, to bring change, all you need is a voice and a little imagination.
Lyceum 23/24 season ticket launched

What’s on Edinburgh’s stages this week…
It’s a week dominated by the Edinburgh International Children’s Festival, although there is the no little matter of the big touring producing of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel at the Festival Theatre and the final week of Anna Karenina at the Lyceum.
Odds, Broads and Frauds
★★★☆☆ Mixed
In Odds, Broads and Frauds, St Serf’s Players bring a trio of comedies to the stage at Inverleith which make for a somewhat disparate evening-out in terms of tone, but is certainly an entertaining one all round.
How the Other Half Loves
★★★★☆ Sharp
Edinburgh People’s Theatre give How The Other Half Loves at the Church Hill a malicious comic edge, in a production whose tempo and performances are praiseworthy.
The Stamping Ground
★★★★☆ Vibrant
The Stamping Ground at the Festival Theatre is unabashedly emotional and visually enthralling. Raw Material and Eden Court’s Runrig musical – which played successfully in Inverness in 2022 – is touring Scotland and will surely find appreciative audiences.
Imaginate Family Encounters
