It’s A Wonderful Life

Mary Elliott Nelson’s adaptation of the critically-acclaimed classic 1946 film, It’s A Wonderful Life is a heartwarming, festive watch in Leitheatre’s production running at the Church Hill Theatre until 29 November.
Murder at Ten Twenty
★★★☆☆ Accomplished
Anyone not yet ready for Christmas-themed entertainment should get along to Saughtonhall URC before Saturday. Saughtonhall Drama Group’s production of Murder at Ten Twenty is a reassuringly old-fashioned whodunnit, performed with energy and warmth.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Inside No.9 Stage/Fright
