A Taste of Honey
★★★☆☆ Troubling

PPP: Pushin’ Thirty
★★★☆☆ Delicate
Traverse: Tue 19 – Sat 23 Mar 2024

What’s on Edinburgh’s stages this week…
In another varied week of theatre, with ten shows on offer, the big opener is Rob Drummond’s brilliant Don’t. Make. Tea. from Birds of Paradise at the Traverse for two nights only ahead a stint in London.
Mother Clap’s Molly House
★★★★☆ Gloriously vulgar
The EUTC deliver a fully frank and deliciously frivolous take on Mother Clap’s Molly House, Mark Ravenhill’s dark comedy with songs, which plays the Bedlam to Saturday.
Mama Afrika
★★★☆☆ Magnetic performance
Mama Afrika – from Tambai Productions and Arts La’Olam at Assembly Roxy for one night only as part of a tour – is an engaging, informative and tuneful depiction of a giant of African culture.
Blue Beard
★★★★☆ Furiously funny
A riotous combination of anger and dizzying theatrical invention, Blue Beard at the Lyceum until the end of the month, is troubling and messy in exactly the right ways.
