The Brenda Line
★★★★☆ Warm
The Brenda Line by Harry Mould, from the Pitlochry Festival Theatre and playing in Traverse 2 for four performances only, is a clever, moving and beautifully pitched production.
Sunshine on Leith
★★★☆☆ Sunshine and showers
With the Edinburgh King’s set to bring down the curtain for a refurbishment, what could be better than a good old Sunshine on Leith singsong to send it on its way?
Sunshine on the King’s
June dates for Proclaimers Musical
Sunshine on Leith, Stephen Greenhorn’s musical based around the songs of the Proclaimers will be the final show in the Edinburgh King’s season before the venue goes dark for refurbishment.
History
★★★★★ Outstanding
History by Roy Williams is not only the best so far of the offerings on the Lyceum and Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s Sound Stage audio platform, it must also have a claim to be the most essential of all the audio dramas provided by theatres in the last 18 months.
Adventures with the Painted People
★★★★★ Perfect timing and setting
David Greig’s Adventures with the Painted People is a clever and evocative piece of theatre which is only enhanced both by being the first full theatre production in Scotland since lockdown and by its performance in Pitlochry’s new Covid-secure amphitheatre.
