Bedlam

Road

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.

Under Milk Wood

★★★★☆ Accomplished

EUTC’s staging of Under Milk Wood, at the Bedlam until Saturday, is a beautifully realised and engaging piece of theatre.

The Boys in the Band

The Boys in the Band

★★★★☆ Engaging

The EUTC’s engaging production of Mart Crowley’s 1968, New York-set gay drama, The Boys in the Band, is a well-observed affair which is at its best when it goes past the play’s innate waspishness to find its inner anger.

A Girl Gets Naked In This

A Girl Gets Naked In This

★★★★☆ Intimate and raw

A Girl Gets Naked In This from St Andrews-based People You Know, is a series of raw monologues about sex from nine young women’s perspectives. While all of the monologues are broadly about sex, they manage to cover a lot of ground – the good, the bad, and the mohawked.

Sycamore Grove

Sycamore Grove

★★★★☆ Sinister and captivating

The unsettling nature of Sycamore Grove, which had its premiere at the 2023 Edinburgh Horror Festival and now returns to the Bedlam for Week One of the Fringe in a production from Slainte! Theatre, starts from the moment you enter venue.

Slash

Slash

★★★★☆ Witty and clever

Slash is a witty murder mystery with a clever twist. Performed at Bedlam by the Edinburgh University Theatre Company, the show is a whodunnit with perfect comedic timing. Set entirely in a boy’s toilet.

A Taste of Honey

A Taste of Honey

★★★☆☆ Troubling

A pair of perfectly pitched performances ensure that the EUTC’s production of A Taste of Honey at the Bedlam, to Friday, provides a more than creditable account of Shelagh Delaney’s script.

Mother Clap’s Molly House

Mother Clap’s Molly House

★★★★☆ Gloriously vulgar

The EUTC deliver a fully frank and deliciously frivolous take on Mother Clap’s Molly House, Mark Ravenhill’s dark comedy with songs, which plays the Bedlam to Saturday.

Work in Progress: 70s/80s vibe
