Jesus Christ Superstar
★★★☆☆ Fraught:
The doubts of Jesus as he waits for his death are brought to the fore in Captivate Theatre’s all-singing all-dancing production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Rose Street Theatre.

Rent
★★★★☆ Powerful:
Captivate Theatre bring a powerful and emotional production of 90’s musical Rent to the Fringe, 20 years after it first opened in New York.
![Lucille and Cecilia Lucille and Cecilia](http://www.alledinburghtheatre.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Lucille-and-Cecelia-190x127.jpg)
Lucille and Cecilia
★★★☆☆ Extreme aquatics:
Gleeful physical comedy features in Lucille and Cecilia, a patchy but intriguingly promising piece from new company Bang Average Theatre at C Aquila.
![Plaza Suite Plaza Suite](http://www.alledinburghtheatre.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Plaza-Suite-Act-1-Carol-Davidson-as-Karen-Nash-Georgia-Smith-as-Miss-Jean-McCormack-Mike-Appleby-as-Sam-Nash-190x127.jpg)
Plaza Suite
★★★☆☆ Erratic comedy:
The Edinburgh Makars’ production of Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite has considerable comic appeal, even if it takes some time to materialise.
![Eight Eight](http://www.alledinburghtheatre.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Esmee-Cook.-Pic-Connor-OSullivan-190x127.jpg)
Eight
★★★★☆ Powerful monologues:
There is a confidence and spirit to Eight, at the Bedlam, that makes for highly successful theatre.

Heaven Burns
★★★☆☆ Fiery history:
Heaven Burns, Jen McGregor’s exploration of some of the murkier corners of Scottish history at the Assembly Roxy, has a dark and spooky feel. Its power is not always sustained, but it nevertheless has considerable impact.
![A Joke A Joke](http://www.alledinburghtheatre.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Sylvester-McCoy-Robert-Picardo-and-John-Bett.-Pic-Mihaela-Bodlovic-190x127.jpg)
A Joke
★★★★☆ Funny, peculiar:
There is a masterclass in comic nous to be had in A Joke, Universal Arts and Scene Change Productions’ reworking of last year’s Fringe hit by Dan Freeman.
![A Good Enough Girl? A Good Enough Girl?](http://www.alledinburghtheatre.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Maegan-Hearons-1-Beth-Chalmers-190x127.jpg)
A Good Enough Girl?
★★★★☆ More than good enough:
Scene Change Productions, Greenwich Theatre and Nutshell Theatre’s co-production A Good Enough Girl? is enjoyable, involving and deceptively important production.
![Gie’s Peace Gie’s Peace](http://www.alledinburghtheatre.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Gies-Peace-190x127.jpg)
Gie’s Peace
★★★☆☆ Peaceful zeal:
Gie’s Peace, Morna Burdon’s political song and spoken word performance, has an intimate feel but a core of steel.
![Ganymede Ganymede](http://www.alledinburghtheatre.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Ash-Alexander-Kiara-Pascale-and-Isaac-Allen.-Pic-Alex-Addison--190x127.jpg)
Ganymede
★★★☆☆ Timely reworking:
Ganymede, TypeCast Productions’ reworking of Shakespeare at Paradise in Augustines, is an intriguing production that uses the spirit of the Bard to cast light on contemporary concerns.
