Sunset Song

Sunset Song

★★★☆☆ Well performed

Stage versions of Sunset Song seem to come around every couple of years, perhaps because no-one has managed to come up with the definitive adaptation yet. Dundee Rep’s new version (a co-production with the Lyceum) has great strengths as well as weaknesses.

Dracula: Mina’s Reckoning

Dracula: Mina’s Reckoning

★★★★☆ Angry

You can’t keep a good vampire down for long, and the story of Dracula keeps coming back to the stage, with its depictions of transgressive behaviour making it a constant candidate for reinvention.

Kidnapped

Kidnapped

★★★★★ Rattling adventure

Isobel McArthur has excelled herself in her latest adaptation of a classic story to the stage, this time giving Robert Louis Stevenson’s Kidnapped a music-filled, comic and heartfelt makeover.

James IV – Queen of The Fight

James IV – Queen of The Fight

★★★★☆ Resonant

James IV – Queen of The Fight at the Festival Theatre until Saturday and then on tour, is epic in scope and highly satisfying.

Breathing Corpses

Breathing Corpses

★★★☆☆ Morbid curiosity:

Breathing Corpses, by Split Brick and New Celts at TheSpace on the Mile, leaves a nasty taste in the mouth at times.
