A Noble Clown
★★★★★ Resonant
Even in slightly reduced form, A Noble Clown a the Scottish Storytelling Centre is a tour de force of writing, acting and directing, as well as necessary viewing for anyone interested in the heritage of Scottish theatre.
The Bush
★★★★☆ Relevant
Based on true events, The Bush, written & performed by Alice Mary Cooper recreates 1970s Australia as a group of housewives fight a David and Goliath style campaign to prevent Kelly’s Bush, an area of land in Sydney, from being turned into a housing and shopping development.
Flora Macdonald and Zombies
★★★★☆ Thrilling
Flora Macdonald and Zombies at the Scottish Storytelling Centre for the odd days of the first fortnight of the Fringe, is a courageous (and hilarious) tale of zombie slaying.
Deiseil: Dancing in Time
★★★★★ Rare grooves
Deiseil: Dancing in Time from Deiseil Airson Dannsa is a spine-tingling story of how stepdance, Scotland’s percussive dance, was lost across the Atlantic – and found again.
Karine Polwart: Windblown
★★★★★ Beautiful
Karine Polwart: Windblown, presented by Raw Material at the Queen’s Hall for five days only, is a magnificent combination of music, storytelling, poetry and theatre.
And They Played Shang-A-Lang
★★★☆☆ Exhilarating
And They Played Shang-A-Lang at Braw Venues @ Grand Lodge for the whole run of the Fringe, wonderfully navigates the highs and lows of growing up in Edinburgh in the 1970s.
