May Day Mayday
NTS stage one-off “response to the times we are living through”
The National Theatre of Scotland to stage Mayday, a one-night only, multi-performer “response to the times we are living through” at the Central Hall in Tollcross on May the first.
PPP: Miss Lockwood Isn’t Well
★★★☆☆ Patchy
Miss Lockwood Isn’t Well by James Reilly, the last of the Spring season of Òran Mór’s Play, A Pie and A Pint productions at the Traverse, is an intriguing comedy that contains some moments which misfire.
Listings: Mon 30 March – Sun 5 April 2026
What’s on Edinburgh’s stages this week?
So farewell then, Ellen Kent, your opera tours were certainly memorable. Not the most avant garde, but bringing opera to the people in big accessible productions.
The Light House
★★★★☆ Hugely affecting
The Light House from Alys Williams is a production of real emotional power. It appeared at the Traverse for one performance only at the start of an extensive Scottish tour, but should certainly be caught elsewhere by anyone who has the chance.
Art
★★★★☆ Thought-provoking
The EUTC’s production of Art, at the Bedlam until Saturday, is compelling. It largely succeeds in navigating the many pitfalls hidden in the ostensibly straightforward, Tony Award-winning script.
Death on the Nile
★★★☆☆ Pleasing
Agatha Christie’s legions of fans will surely be content with the touring production of Death on the Nile at the Festival Theatre to Saturday.

★★★★☆ Vibrant
