Andrew Panton

A History of Paper
★★★★★ Heartbreaking
A History of Paper at the Traverse is a production of rare emotional weight, whose overall impact is out of all proportion to its comparatively small scale.

Oor Wullie
★★★☆☆ Sparky:
Oor Wullie, the touring musical from Selladoor, Dundee Rep and DC Thomson has moments of comic brilliance. However, it never quite coheres into a wholly convincing story.

Quinn cast as Wullie
Cast announced for Oor Wullie tour to King’s:
Full casting has been announced for the world premiere production of Oor Wullie, coming to the Edinburgh King’s in January 2020, with Martin Quinn taking on the iconic lead role.

Oor Wullie for King’s
New musical set for Scottish tour:
A new musical based on DC Thomson’s comic strip Oor Wullie will tour to the Edinburgh’s King’s Theatre in January 2020.

The Broons
★★★★☆ Cheery:
Loud, hugely enjoyable and instantly recognisable, The Broons, playing the King’s to Saturday, is every bit as much fun as you would hope.

Narnia for Lyceum
CS Lewis adaptation will be Christmas show:
The Lyceum has announced that it is going back into the Wardrobe this Christmas with a new production of CS Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

The BFG
✭✭✭✭✩ Whizzpopping fun:
The Lyceum is transformed into the magical world of the BFG where “all dreams is beginning”, through the imagination of Roald Dahl, adaptation of David Wood and direction of Andrew Panton.

Lyceum season 2014-15 launched
The Royal Lyceum’s 2014/15 season has been announced, with a pair of world premieres bookending a programme otherwise packed with classic theatre.

A Christmas Carol
✭✭✭✭✩ Dickens of a good time
Radiating good humour and Christmas cheer, the Lyceum’s production of A Christmas Carol provides highly successful seasonal entertainment.
