Colin Grenfell
Blinded by the Light
★★★★☆ Heartfelt
Blinded by the Light, which stopped off at the Traverse for one night only as part of a tour, is a deeply felt and very well performed piece with clear links to the community that inspired it.
Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of)
★★★★☆ Delightful
Isobel McArthur’s Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of) bursts out of the servants’ stairs and into the parlour with straight-talk and song, bringing irreverent Austenian charm to the Festival Theatre on the Edinburgh stop of its current UK & Ireland tour.
Treasure Island
★★★★☆ Creative
Treasure Island, the Lyceum’s family Christmas show, is an enchanting production whose energy and visual invention compensate for the occasional mis-step.
This is Paradise
★★★★☆ Heartbreakingly honest
Amy Molloy gives a raw and unapologetically honest performance as Kate in This is Paradise, a captivating solo show returning to the Traverse Theatre for the full Fringe.
Christmas Dinner
★★★★☆ Touchingly funny
Christmas Dinner may be something of a stopgap as this year’s Lyceum show, but it proves a success in its own right. Amusing, energetic, and wearing its considerable profundity lightly, it should appeal to the widest possible audience.
