Scottish Storytelling Centre
Cheeky Zippy Violette
★★★★☆ A whirlwind
Belgian theatre company Théâtre des 4 Mains present a zany energetic coupe de force with Cheeky Zippy Violette, a one person show which is as silly and entertaining as it is a poignant study of grief.
Cringe (EICF)
★★★★☆ Unapologetic
Cringe, from Ross MacKay and Scottish Theatre Producers at the Storytelling Centre as part of the Edinburgh International Children’s Festival, is a wildly energetic, deceptively smart piece of theatre.
Uncle Vincent
★★★★☆ Inspiring
Uncle Vincent is a heartfelt new play from Rebekah King for Peapod Productions. It follows Vincent Willem – nephew of famous artist Vincent van Gogh – as he grapples with the weight of carrying his family’s legacy in the name of a man he never even knew.
Beastie
★★★★☆ Speculative
Flagstone Theatre’s new work Beastie haunts the Scottish Storytelling Centre for one night only, bringing to life a contemporary legend of myth and memory exploring the echoes of the unexplained.
Mending Nets
★★★☆☆ Engaging
Mending Nets is a gently lyrical but calmly assertive lunchtime entertainment at the Storytelling Centre throughout the Fringe.
An American Love Letter to Edinburgh
★★★★☆ Instructive
An American Love Letter to Edinburgh is a touching and instructive hour of storytelling by Rick Conte at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, blending the personal and historical to celebrate the storied relationship between the two countries.
Our Martin in the Background
★★★☆☆ Reflective
Billed as “the queer love story Noël Coward didn’t write,” Mark Kydd brings new monodrama Our Martin in the Background for the final week of the Fringe only, on odd afternoons at the Scottish Storytelling Centre.
Plague, Poo n’ Punishment
★★★★☆ Ghoulish fun
Edinburgh Storytellers Ltd bring to life (or afterlife) the horrible histories of Edinburgh in Plague, Poo n’ Punishment, an entertaining romp of some of the city’s hidden secrets at the Scottish Storytelling Centre.
When Billy Met Alasdair
★★★☆☆ Reassuring
When Billy Met Alasdair, from Alan Bissett at the Scottish Storytelling Centre throughout the Fringe, is an enjoyable romp through Scottish culture.
Dregs
★★★★☆ Refreshing
Dregs, from Emery Hunter and Bobby Bradley at the Scottish Storytelling Centre throughout the Fringe, is a refreshing combination of ideas, cleverly put across.
