Metamorphoses
★★★★☆ Sweeping
Metamorphoses from the EUTC at the Bedlam is a journey through classical myth that is unfocused and wilfully uneven, but is frequently compelling, has energy to spare, and boasts some remarkably fine performances.
The History Boys
★★★★☆ Intelligent
Energy, fine acting and a great deal of thought characterise The History Boys at the Bedlam, where it runs through to Saturday.
Antigone
★★★★☆ Powerful
Antigone, from the EUTC at the Bedlam until Saturday, makes a 2500 year-old play as relevant as ever in a production of considered intelligence and fine acting.
The End of the Line
★★★★☆ Feelgood existentialism
The End of the Line – a feelgood apocalypse comedy at the Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s Bedlam Theatre until 10 August – gives dynamic 1980s vibes, both in its power pop soundtrack and nuclear annihilation storyline.
Road
★★★★☆ Emotionally resonant
The EUTC production of Road at the Bedlam is far too long and distinctly baggy in places. It is also vibrant, accomplished and compelling.
End of the Line
★★★☆☆ Light-hearted
Theatre Paradok make a whimsical exploration of impending nuclear disaster in End of the Line, at the Augustine United Church on George IV Bridge until Monday 18 November.
