Assembly Roxy

Incognito
★★★★☆ Earnest
The Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group brings Nick Payne’s Incognito to the Assembly Roxy in a production packed with lightning-fast transitions and versatile performances.

SiX – Teen Edition
★★★★☆ Sterling stuff
The young queens of Captivate Theatre put in a terrific shift for SiX – Teen Edition, at the Assembly Roxy through to Sunday. And on the way remind us, as if we needed reminding, just how good a piece SiX really is.

Dangerous Corner
★★★★☆ Absorbing
The Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group’s production of J.B. Priestley’s Dangerous Corner, upstairs at the Assembly Roxy until Saturday, is a tense affair, well staged and compelling.

The Sisters Fig
★★★★☆ Ludicrous
Porridge After Meat’s The Sisters Fig at the Assembly Roxy Snug Bar is almost impossible to describe and all the better for it.

Sam Blythe: Method in my Madness
★★★☆☆ Unresolved
A disyllabic clown with a trunk of tricks puts on a red nose and transforms into Hamlet, Prince of Denmark— or perhaps he was Hamlet all along? Sam Blythe: Method in my Madness is an experimental one-man Hamlet that ultimately creates more questions than it answers.

Tom Greaves: FUDGEY
★★★★☆ Tragicomedy
Tom Greaves: FUDGEY at the Assembly Roxy is a funny, disturbing and at times deeply tragic piece, featuring convincing storytelling and wonderful physical comedy from Edinburgh-based writer/performer Greaves.

EdFringe lockdown memories: Day Eight
The #NothingToReviewHere and #SomethingToReview projects

A Giant on the Bridge
★★★☆☆ Insightful
A Giant on the Bridge is a slow-burning and sympathetic piece of gig theatre, co-created with people who have lived experience of the criminal justice system, playing Assembly Roxy for the first two weeks of the Fringe.

The Fastest Clock in the Universe
★★★★☆ Febrile
EGTG drill down deep into the vicious heart of Philip Ridley’s The Fastest Clock in the Universe, in a production at the Assembly Roxy which never goes quite where you expect it to.
