The Dark Up Close
★★★★☆ Stark warning
In The Dark Up Close, Strange Town’s Young Company have co-created a new play with writer Jack MacGregor foretelling a new war and mandatory conscription for young people.
Photon StarBlaster and the Suicidal Spaceship
★★★★☆ Seriously creative
Bonnie and Braw’s Photon StarBlaster and the Suicidal Spaceship at C aquila shows a wonderfully large heart, and boundless imagination, in its exploration of difficult themes.
Moonlight On Leith
★★★☆☆ Celebratory
Combining the quotidian and the lyrical, New Celts and REDCAP Theatre’s Moonlight On Leith at theSpace Triplex provides a touching portrait of assorted Leithers.
Pool (no water)
★★★★☆ Cruel but hilarious:
The Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group’s late evening show at the Royal Scots Club, for week one of the Fringe only, is a decidedly over-18s only production of Pool (no water).
F*ckboys For Freedom
★★★☆☆ Brazen:
Connoisseurs of bad taste comedy will be thoroughly satisfied by Pandorum Theatre Company’s F*ckboys For Freedom at Sweet Grassmarket.
Prestwick Elvis
★★★☆☆ Affecting:
Prestwick Elvis, by Swiftkick and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile, is a gently funny and unexpectedly sweet play that has a wide appeal.
