Christmas Show 2013
Review – The Edibles
✭✭✭✭✭ Perfectly pitched
Care and attention to details make Grinagog Theatre’s magnificent little production something very special as it flits into the Scottish Storytelling Centre for just four shows in two days.
Review – Little Red Riding Hood
Magic and fairy tale collide in this musical adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood, set in the land of twice-upon-a-time and showing at the St Andrew Square Spiegeltent as part of Edinburgh’s Christmas, until January 5.
Review – The Sleeping Beauty
✭✭✭✩✩ Beautifully traditional
Cheerful, traditional and heart-warming, Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s production of The Sleeping Beauty is a pantomime with the broadest possible appeal.
Review – Pianomime
Frothy but lacking any real drive, Pianomime is a diverting but ultimately unsatisfactory hour at Summerhall.
Sleeping Beauty returns after 28 years…
When Beauty takes to the stage in the Edinburgh People’s Theatre production of The Sleeping Beauty at the end of this week, it will be in the role in which she made her panto debut aged just nine months.
Review – The Leithtivity
Broad swipes and accurate strikes make the Village Pub Theatre’s first venture into pantomime a mixed bag, as it retells the nativity with a scabrous, 20th century Leith twist.
VPT goes Panto-crazy
The Village Pub Theatre has announced its Christmas offering, to be staged at the Village Pub Monday-Wednesday next week.
Review – The Improvised Panto!
The route was convoluted and the going sometimes harder than it should have been, but Impro FX brought the happy ending home on the opening night of their improvised panto. Eventually.
Review – A Christmas Carol: The Pantomime
Accomplished and enjoyable, Balerno Theatre Company’s staging of A Christmas Carol – The Pantomime is an entertaining if ultimately somewhat patchy production.
A Christmas Carol
✭✭✭✭✩ Dickens of a good time
Radiating good humour and Christmas cheer, the Lyceum’s production of A Christmas Carol provides highly successful seasonal entertainment.
