The Satyricon
★★★☆☆ Smutty

Roman Holiday
Arbery and EGTG stage The Satyricon
A new adaptation of The Satyricon is being staged this week at the Assembly Roxy in a co-production between Arbery Productions and EGTG. We spoke to adaptor and director Martin Foreman about his project.

Bloody Wimmin
★★★★☆ Connecting
Strong individual performances ensure that EGTG’s production of Lucy Kirkwood’s Bloody Wimmin, at the Royal Scots Club for one week only, gives real life to the connection between two protest movements, twenty years apart.

Hay Fever
★★★☆☆ Lightly hilarious
Every family has their foibles, but the Bliss family are next-level eccentric in Noel Coward’s delicious comedy Hay Fever – brought to the Assembly Roxy by EGTG for four performances only.

Proposals now sought for May 2022 outdoor festival
