St Ninian’s
Meteor Shower
★★★☆☆ Strong performances
Nothing is quite what it appears to be, in Steve Martin’s fractured marital comedy, Meteor Shower, being staged at St Ninian’s Hall by Edinburgh Theatre Arts until Saturday.
Passing Places
★★★★☆ Charming
After too long away, Edinburgh Theatre Arts are back in Stockbridge with their take on Passing Places, exhibiting a vibrant spirit and huge delight.
Fondly Remembered
★★★★☆ Involving:
Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ Fondly Remembered, at St Ninian’s until Saturday, is a production of considerable charm and emotional truth.
Moon over Buffalo
★★★☆☆ Comic capers:
A strong sense of purpose and plenty of pace ensure that Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of Moon Over Buffalo at St Ninian’s Church Hall is farcical for all the right reasons.
Improbable Fiction
★★★★☆ Varieties of fun:
Edinburgh Theatre Arts are not the only group presenting Alan Ayckbourn this year. While other productions may be more high-profile, it is unlikely they will be much more fun than this production of Improbable Fiction at St Ninian’s.
The Memory of Water
★★★☆☆ Fluid:
There are some very good performances of recognisable human dilemmas in Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of The Memory of Water at St Ninian’s.
Tartuffe
★★★★☆ Timelessly funny:
Energetic, well drilled and mining a rich seam of comedy, Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of Tartuffe is cleverly staged and particularly enjoyable.
