Dylan Kaeuper
Romeo and Juliet
★★★☆☆ Expansive
Romeo and Juliet, from the Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company at the Pleasance, is a production on a grand scale. There is much about it that is praiseworthy, but in the end its ambition does prove a disadvantage.
Ulster American
★★★★☆ Spirited
Ulster American, from EUTC at the Bedlam for two performances only, is an intelligently staged production of an explosive piece.
Little Women
★★★☆☆ Ambitious
The EUTC’s Little Women, at the Bedlam until Saturday, is a carefully staged production featuring stand-out performances in the four title roles.
Cody and Beau: A Wild West Story
★★★☆☆ Promising
Cody and Beau: A Wild West Story, from Dylan and Will Theatre seen at theSpace @ Niddry Street in the Fringe’s middle week, following a week at theSpace on the Mile, is a production that has considerable appeal.
Road
★★★★☆ Emotionally resonant
The EUTC production of Road at the Bedlam is far too long and distinctly baggy in places. It is also vibrant, accomplished and compelling.
Much Ado About Nothing
★★★☆☆ Energetic
The Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company’s Much Ado About Nothing at the Pleasance is a good-natured if uneven production.
The Boys in the Band
★★★★☆ Engaging
The EUTC’s engaging production of Mart Crowley’s 1968, New York-set gay drama, The Boys in the Band, is a well-observed affair which is at its best when it goes past the play’s innate waspishness to find its inner anger.
