The Bacchae
★★★☆☆ Ethereal
Glasgow-based Company of Wolves come howling into the Fringe with The Bacchae, a solo retelling of the myth of Dionysos, playing at Assembly Roxy for a full run.
KELI
★★★★☆ Affecting
First seen in preview at the Lyceum, and having gone through several different incarnations, Martin Green’s play KELI is finally a full-length stage drama
The Last Forecast
★★★★★ Outlook: good
In The Last Forecast, Bridie Gane and Catherine Wheels present a comically timed and quirky movement piece for children over six, at Assembly @ Dance Base during the first half of the fringe.
Same Team
★★★★★ Unmissable!
The combined frenzy of the Fringe and the Paris Olympics couldn’t be a more apt time to stage Same Team at The Traverse Theatre, directed by Bryony Shanahan and written by Robbie Gordon and Jack Nurse with the women of Street Soccer Scotland.
Same Team – A Street Soccer Story
★★★★☆ Exhilarating
Same Team – A Street Soccer Story, the Traverse’s December production, may be short on tinsel – but in its thought-provoking and frequently exuberant nature, it is peculiarly apposite for the season.
Love The Sinner
★★★★★ Masterful
Imogen Stirling does not miss a beat in Love The Sinner, an enthralling fusion of poetry and electronic music created in collaboration with Vanishing Point at the Traverse for two nights only.
Kissing Linford Christie
★★★★☆ Tenacious
Youthful dreams and adult reality rub into each other with pleasing effect in Victoria Beesley’s Kissing Linford Christie, based on her own life, and seen at the Brunton before touring around Scotland.
Jamie and the Unicorn online
★★★★☆ Streaming good fun
The brand new pantomime Jamie and the Unicorn at the Gaiety Theatre in Ayr, hits all the big pantomime tropes – and hits them bang on – with a live performance that makes a smooth transfer to online viewing.
