St Bride’s Centre
Goldrush!
★★☆☆☆ Bitty:
Strong voices and some great tunes give the premiere run of Anne-Marie Fraser’s new musical Goldrush!, at St Bride’s to Saturday, an invigorating bounce.
Next Stop Broadway
★★★☆☆ Tremendously tuneful:
Next Stop Broadway, the new production from A-Team that is touring to various parts of Edinburgh, features a huge and impressive cast, with inventive and accomplished staging.
Proof
★★★☆☆ Elegant theory:
There’s a marvellous sense of realism to Blackout Production’s first foray into straight theatre, with a short run of David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Proof at St Brides to Friday.
When The War Came Home
✭✭✭✩✩ Local heroism:
Big-hearted but uneven, the panoramic sweep of When The War Came Home never lacks ambition but only intermittently achieves maximum power.
Prophecy
★★☆☆☆ Future potential
Raw around the edges and somewhat uneven in its storytelling, new musical Prophecy which has its world premiere run at St Brides all this week, nevertheless succeeds in bringing its hero, the Brahan Seer, to life.

Review – Richard III
★★☆☆☆ Macabre:
Vile and unrepentant, Richard Godden’s take on Richard III is an uncompromising one in this fascinating production of from the Grads – at St Brides until Saturday.
Review – Gaydonia
The Luvvies provide a good – but not exactly great – take on Gary Pedlar’s Gaydonia in this world premier production
