Pitlochry
Lear
★★★★☆ Compelling
Lear at the Pitlochry Festival Theatre is a powerful production, with Maureen Beattie’s towering central performance backed up by an excellent cast.
Inexperience
★★★★☆ Human
Inexperience, the new play by Douglas Maxwell at the Pitlochry Festival Theatre Studio, is a stimulating production full of life and emotion.
Once
★★★★☆ Marvellously melodic
Once, the musical that opens the Alan Cumming era at Pitlochry Festival Theatre, has all of the trappings of a Big Event. And it certainly does not disappoint.
Out in the Hills Festival
Festival report
This month saw Pitlochry Festival Theatre launch Out in the Hills, a brand new festival celebrating all those LGBTQIA+, that “invites everyone to find new ways to look at the world, and each other.”
This Is A Gift
★★★★★ Luminous
Kolbrún Björt Sigfúsdóttir’s Leith-based retelling of the Midas myth, performed solo by Blythe Jandoo, creeps into your heart and slowly squeezes it in a golden vice.
Grease
★★★★☆ Raucous
Grease is a raucous, riotous classic of 1970s American musical theatre, and this new co-production between Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Blackpool Grand Theatre is packed with heart, soul, and exceptional actor-musicianship.
The Great Gatsby
★★★★★ Sensational
The Great Gatsby is an extraordinarily difficult story to adapt, but Elizabeth Newman has done it, in a dazzling, hopeful, forlorn and febrile production, helmed by Sarah Brigham and co-produced by Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Derby Theatre.
Adventures with the Painted People
★★★★★ Perfect timing and setting
David Greig’s Adventures with the Painted People is a clever and evocative piece of theatre which is only enhanced both by being the first full theatre production in Scotland since lockdown and by its performance in Pitlochry’s new Covid-secure amphitheatre.
