Black Hole Sign
★★★★☆ Sadly angry
Black Hole Sign by Uma Nada-Rajah, the Tron/Traverse co-production (in association with the NTS) gives every appearance of being a big deal, including appearing in Traverse One for more than a week. And – despite some real problems – it lives up to its billing.
Lear
★★★★★ Magnificent
Lear by Ramesh Meyyappan at the Traverse is a stunning piece of work – raw and delicate, disciplined and chaotic, frightening and beautiful.
Escaped Alone
★★★★☆ Environmental dystopia
Following its Scottish premiere at The Tron earlier this month Escaped Alone, Caryl Churchill’s dystopian play that had its UK premiere at the Royal Court in 2016, comes to the Traverse for five performances only.
ADULTS
★★★★☆ More than a sex comedy
ADULTS, the new play from Kieran Hurley, writer of 2019 hit Mouthpiece, brings Conleth Hill, currently starring in the Power of Parker and known to many for his role in Game of Thrones, to the Edinburgh Fringe.
Kidnapped
★★★★★ Rattling adventure
Isobel McArthur has excelled herself in her latest adaptation of a classic story to the stage, this time giving Robert Louis Stevenson’s Kidnapped a music-filled, comic and heartfelt makeover.
This Is Memorial Device
★★★★☆ Phantasmagoric realism
The Lyceum’s extraordinary run of success at this year’s festivals continues with This Is Memorial Device, their collaboration with the Book Festival.
