Nests
★★★☆☆ Solid social commentary:
After a Fringe full of blockbuster productions, the Traverse’s autumn season kicks of with Nests, a two-hander that looks at social inequality and considers what we can learn from crows.
Showtime from the Frontline
★★★★★ Popular and political:
What happens when a comedian runs a comedy club in one of the most violently repressed areas of the world? Showtime from the Frontline sounds like it should be a recipe for disaster.
White Rabbit Red Rabbit
★★★☆☆ Eager:
A chair. A table. An envelope with a script inside, waiting for an unprepared actor. Since its premiere in 2011, White Rabbit Red Rabbit has taken the theatre world by storm.
Song of the Goat & Plastic Heroes
★★★☆☆ Charmingly cartoonish & ★★★★☆ Playful:
Manipulate Festival is back and its performance side got off to a smashing start on Monday with two hugely inventive and darkly comic shows which both use toys as puppets.
