Black Bat Productions
In Everglade Studio
★★★★☆ Sweltering
In Everglade Studio is a tuneful, tense and entertaining production from Black Bat Productions in The Box at Assembly George Square.
Press
★★★★☆ Sharply funny
Press in the Cabaret Bar at the Pleasance Courtyard is Black Bat Productions’ second production of this Fringe, and its second unqualified hit.
Fear of Roses
★★★★☆ Stylish
Fear of Roses, by Black Bat Productions at Assembly Roxy, is a crisp, intelligent and thoroughly rewarding three-hander.
Chagos 1971
★★★☆☆ Dark machinations:
Chagos 1971, writer-director Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller’s new work for Black Bat Productions at Zoo Playground, deals with important events in a way that is uneven but has a great deal going for it.
EdFringe Theatre – Youth & Student companies
Edinburgh’s Youth and Student theatre companies at EdFringe:
As the fringe continues to grow, so does the input from Edinburgh-based companies. This year there are an unprecedented 93 different productions in the theatre section of the Fringe programme alone.
Technicolor
★★★★☆ Extra-terrestrially cool:
Black Bat’s Technicolor is a freewheeling exercise in both nostalgia and modernity that is highly recommended.
EdFringe Theatre – Grassroots companies
Edinburgh’s Grassroote theatre companies on the Fringe:
There are more shows made by Edinburgh-based companies at this year’s fringe than all the shows at the 1972 Edinburgh fringe put together. Listing of theatre presented by Grassroots companies at EdFringe 2018.
Black Bat Call Out
Auditions for EdFringe 2018 show:
Black Bat Productions has put out a late open call for auditions for its EdFringe 2018 production, Technicolor following the success of last year’s EdFringe show, Mack the Knife which played to capacity audiences.
Mack The Knife
★★★☆☆ Knife-edge noir:
Exuding menace and evoking smoky nightclubs, Black Bat’s Mack The Knife at the Bourbon in the Free Fringe has some odd moments but ultimately impresses.
Mack the Knife audition
Black Bat open call for #EdFringe musical
Black Bat Productions has put out an open call for its 2017 #EdFringe production of Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller, darkly glistening Mack the Knife.
