Odds, Broads and Frauds
★★★☆☆ Mixed
In Odds, Broads and Frauds, St Serf’s Players bring a trio of comedies to the stage at Inverleith which make for a somewhat disparate evening-out in terms of tone, but is certainly an entertaining one all round.

Cinderella
★★★☆☆ High Spirited
St Serf’s Players continue their successful panto collaboration with the Trinity Theatre Company for a Cinderella at Inverleith St Serf’s Church Hall that is gutsy and brisk in all the right ways.

Wife After Death
★★★☆☆ Nuanced
St Serf’s Players return to the main stage with a nicely controlled production of Eric Chappell’s dark comedy, Wife After Death, at Inverleith St Serf’s Church Centre for three performances only.

Aladdin
★★☆☆☆ Mixed bag of fun:
Pantomime season is here as the St Serf’s Players become the first company in Edinburgh to pull the panto curtain up – revealing a lively but up-and-down production of the classic tale, Aladdin.

Review – The Steamie
The mince, tatties and pitch-black peat baths are all in order for the St Serf’s Players new production of Tony Roper’s great hit, The Steamie, up at the St Serf’s Church Halls in Goldenacre until Saturday.

Pantomime Review – Goody Two Shoes
★★☆☆☆
Packed with groan-worthy puns, outrageous jokes and great songs, St Serf’s Players’ Goody Two Shoes easily does enough to provide the basis for a night of panto fun.
