Bare
★★★☆☆ Ambitious
Edinburgh Little Theatre brings Bare: A Pop Opera to the Alba stage at Hill Street Theatre for a full run of the Fringe, an ambitious musical of teenage angst and queer identity in a Catholic boarding school.
And They Played Shang-A-Lang
★★★☆☆ Exhilarating
And They Played Shang-A-Lang at Braw Venues @ Grand Lodge for the whole run of the Fringe, wonderfully navigates the highs and lows of growing up in Edinburgh in the 1970s.
And They Played Shang-a-Lang
★★★★★ Joyful romp
After an eleven-year streak, Edinburgh Little Theatre’s And They Played Shang-a-Lang opens what is billed as its final Fringe run, to a packed and cheering house at the Hill Street Theatre.
Wallace
★★★☆☆ Raw
Edinburgh Little Theatre’s Wallace is a conscious attempt to stir the blood by celebrating a figure from Scottish history.
Alfie and George
★★★☆☆ Last curtain
If the ghost of Samuel Beckett was invited to return from the grave to write an episode of Inside No.9 he might have come up with a similar idea to the one used for Alfie and George at Hill Street Theatre.
Independence
★★★☆☆ Committed
Independence, from Edinburgh Little Theatre at Hill Street, is a politically-charged piece that takes a few wrong turns but has huge reserves of dedication.
Avenue Q
★★★★☆ Organised chaos
If you are not familiar with Avenue Q, being staged by Edinburgh Little Theatre at Hill Street – a Q virgin – be prepared to be surprised and very amused by Muppet-like hand puppets swearing, acting inappropriately and addressing adult issues head on.
Silence In Court
★★★★☆ Immersive trial:
Young Critics Scheme review
Silence in Court by the Edinburgh Little Theatre immerses the audience into a gut-wrenching court case and challenges them to decipher the truth – and provide a verdict.
