Reckless Auditions
Grads’ open auditions for Autumn show:
The Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Company has put out an open audition call for its December 2017 production of Reckless by Craig Lucas, which will be playing the Assembly Roxy for four nights.
The Ladykillers
★★★★☆ Dead funny:
Assured comedy performances and ambitious staging combine to make a success of The Ladykillers for the Grads, at the Assembly Roxy to Saturday.
Grads in a comedy killing
It’s time for the Ladykillers:
When Graham Linehan’s comedy The Ladykillers toured to the King’s in 2012, the set was so convoluted and clever that Æ pictured its design model as the review illustration.
A Few Good Men
★★★☆☆ Clever
Tightly paced and with a solidly constructed script from West Wing writer Aaron Sorkin, Beam Theatre’s A Few Good Men has plenty to offer, at the Assembly Roxy to Saturday.
Ladykillers Casting Call
Comedy hit for Grads late-spring show:
The Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group has issued an open casting call for its late Spring production of Graham Linehan’s Ealing Comedy adaptation: The Ladykillers.
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
★★★★☆ Resonant:
By turns bitingly sharp and believably messy, the Grads’ production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf has real emotional power.
Grads Thrust for Albee
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? on sale:
Tickets for the Grads’ production of Edward Albee’s 1962 hit, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at the Assembly Roxy in May have gone on sale.
Grads EdFringe Auditions
Two shows for #EdFringe2016:
The Grads have announced open auditions for their fringe 2016 productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Neil LaBute’s In A Forest, Dark and Deep.
The Witch of Edmonton
★★☆☆☆ Tragically complex:
Based on a Jacobean play written by William Rowley, Thomas Dekker and John Ford in 1621, the Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group’s production of The Witch of Edmonton is a curious and intense tragi-comedy that confuses as much as it entertains.
Titus Andronicus
✭✭✭✩✩ There will be blood:
Bloody, nasty and noisy, the Grads’s production of Titus Andronicus at the Assembly Roxy has all of the ingredients of a memorable shocker but it is let down by some confused moments and a surprising politeness.
