After Party
★★☆☆☆ No party
After Party at the Traverse has all of the ingredients for a statement drama but ends up rather undercooked.
The Singer
★★★★☆ Ebullient
The Singer at the Traverse is a joyous, energetic piece of musical theatre that is going to win many friends.
The Secret Room at Lauriston Castle
★★★★☆ Slick
Lauriston Castle opens its doors to Fringe-goers in partnership with the Edinburgh International Magic Festival for The Secret Room at Lauriston Castle, an immersive magic experience featuring three expert illusionists.
Sand, Silt, Flint
★★★★☆ Resonant
Sand, Silt, Flint, from Scottish/Burmese singer and producer Fiona Soe ~Paing, uses the songs of her native Aberdeenshire to provide an arresting musical display.
Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads 1
Her Big Chance & A Cream Cracker Under the Settee
★★★★☆ Poignant
This pair of quietly devastating dramatic monologues from Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads series, while written (and firmly rooted) in the 1980s, still stand up as tragicomic meditations on loneliness.
Two Halves
★★★☆☆ Relentless Naturalism
Oil and water. Rugby and football. Some things don’t mix well. If Muddrag Productions, creators of Two Halves at Studio at theSpaceTriplex are to be trusted, perhaps we should be adding men and women to that list of incompatible things.
