Arcadia – Review
✭✭✭✩✩ Thoroughly enthralling
Big, wordy and endlessly fascinating, Tom Stoppard’s modern classic Arcadia is given an entertaining revival at the Bedlam theatre for a four night run.
Yellow Moon – Review
✭✭✭✭✩ Thunderstruck
The EUTC give a thunderous showing of David Greig’s Yellow Moon at the Bedlam, with a production that flows seamlessly through Greig’s dark, poetic, script.
Review – Love and Friendship
✭✭✭✩✩ Delicious trifle
Brimming with overplayed emotions and inappropriate attitudes, Laura Witz’ adaptation of Jane Austen’s early epistolary novel – Love and Freindship – is an utter treat.
Review – Scooby Panto and the Night of the Nutcracker! In 2D!
✭✭✭✩✩ Brazenly hazy:
Gosh, golly and crypes, Santa Claus has been kidnapped and not only have his dastardly kidnappers killed Scrappy Doo, but they have cancelled Christmas too!
Review – Beyond Therapy
✭✭✭✩✩ Flawed but endearing
Sweet but somewhat inconsistent, Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s production of Beyond Therapy is at the Bedlam all week.
Review – Khamosh Pani (Silent Waters)
✭✭✭✩✩ Slow burner
Strong and intelligent, but sometimes frustrating, the EUTC’s world premier adaptation of the Pakistani film Silent Water at the Bedlam theatre is thought-provoking eye-opener.
Review – The Fantasticks
✭✭✭✩✩ Sweetly cynical
Sweetly cynical and taking all the right steps, the Edinburgh University Theatre Club production of world-record holding musical The Fantasticks plays at the Bedlam Theatre to Saturday.
Secrets
✭✭✭✭✩ Honest and revelatory:
Darkly obscure right up to its thought-provoking finale, the latest edition of A Play, A Pie and A Pint lands at the Bedlam Theatre in a co-production with the National Theatre of Scotland and the Confucius Institute.
