★★★☆☆ Droll
The Forth Act return to Saughton Park with another helping of outdoor Shakespeare, transporting the Illyria of Twelfth Night to a beach town in the summer of 1967.
The Croft
★★★☆☆ Confusing
The Croft, from Original Theatre at the Festival Theatre, is a peculiar production – acted with the maximum of dedication and impressively staged, but rather lacking in impact.
Suddenly Last Summer
★★★☆☆ Well acted
Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group’s Suddenly Last Summer upstairs at the Roxy has excellent performances, but some less than ideal staging.
