Conspiracy

Conspiracy

★★★★★ Bureaucratic nightmare

Conspiracy, a co-production between Edinburgh-based grassroots companies Strawmoddie and RFT, is a chilling and almost obscenely mundane account of the Wannsee Conference, held in a Berlin suburb in January 1942.

Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather

Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather

★★★☆☆ Well-turned

Amidst the noise, rituals and trappings of pantomime and Christmas, Strawmoddie’s take on Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather provides a welcome parody of our seasonal excess, at the Pleasance Theatre to Sunday.

And Then There Were None

And Then There Were None

★★☆☆☆ Patchy

Agatha Christie’s evergreen And Then There Were None is presented by Strawmoddie at the Central Hall, Tollcross, with delicacy and no little effort. Unfortunately, choices with staging – and problems seemingly inherent in the venue – make for an awkward experience.

Vichy Goings-On

Vichy Goings-On

★★★☆☆ Creative:

An effective original script carries Vichy Goings-On right the way through, giving it easy entertainment value at the Fringe. There are a few bumps along the way, but on the whole RFT deliver an engaging, likeable story with unique characters.
