Church Hill Theatre
The Cher Show
★★★★☆ Boisterous
Allegro come out canny with their big and incorrigibly bold production of The Cher Show at the Church Hill Theatre to Saturday, engaging fully with Cher’s story, her hits and the legend she has become.
The Mirror Crack’d
★★★☆☆ Poised
Agatha Christie’s The Mirror Crack’d provides good old-fashioned whodunnit thrills for Threepenny Theatricals at the Church Hill until Saturday.
Showcase 2025 – I See Stars
★★★★☆ Sheer entertainment
It is easy to take Showcase for granted year after year, mainly because it consistently produces a show that is crammed full of talented performers, cleverly chosen material and well-drilled performances.
The Wizard of Oz
★★★☆☆ Ambitious
There are some tremendous performances from the young cast in LYAMC’s The Wizard of Oz, at the Church Hill until Saturday. Much of the production is very impressive, with only some uneven staging letting it down.
As You Like It A Radical Retelling (EIF)
★★★★☆ Remarkable
As You Like It A Radical Retelling at the Church Hill in the International Festival is a wonderfully theatrical and challenging piece, dealing with hugely important issues in a way that demands attention.
Cutting the Tightrope
*** Politically charged
Dealing with censorship and artistic freedom, Cutting The Tightrope at the Church Hill for four performances as part of the International Festival, is an honest and fearless production whose approach is not wholly successful.
The Watsons
★★★★☆ Intriguing
The Watsons, from Edinburgh People’s Theatre at the Church Hill, is an attractive production of a clever (if distinctly odd) literary adaptation.
Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime
★★★★☆ Accomplished
Perfectly poised and beautifully staged, Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime by Threepenny Theatricals at the Church Hill is great fun.
Quiz
★★★★☆ Strong
Quiz, from Leitheatre at the Church Hill Theatre to Saturday, is a cleverly staged revival of James Graham’s play about the Who Wants to be a Millionaire? “Coughing Major” scandal.
Bedroom Farce
★★★★☆ Accomplished
The Edinburgh Makars’ production of Bedroom Farce at the Church Hill confidently combines comedy and tragedy to great effect.
