EIF 2023

Life is a Dream (EIF)

Life is a Dream (EIF)

★★★☆☆ Patchy

Life is a Dream, from Cheek by Jowl at the Lyceum in the International Festival, has moments of beauty and humour but never coheres into the spectacle it promises to be.

Dimanche (EIF)

Dimanche (EIF)

★★★★☆ Hugely inventive

Dimanche at the Church Hill is a magically inventive display. The International Festival production is a collaboration between two Belgian companies – Focus, who use puppets and miniature objects and Chaliwaté, a physical theatre troupe. Both of these approaches are in evidence in a constantly engaging spectacle.

Thrown (EIF)

★★★★☆ Substantial

The National Theatre of Scotland’s Thrown, at the Traverse as part of the International Festival, is an intelligent and powerful piece of theatre.

Dusk (EIF)

Dusk (EIF)

★★★☆☆ Dry

Dusk from Comédie de Génève in the International Festival at the Lyceum is a thought-provoking and politically charged work that does not always engage as it might.
