SiX – Teen Edition
★★★★☆ Sterling stuff
The young queens of Captivate Theatre put in a terrific shift for SiX – Teen Edition, at the Assembly Roxy through to Sunday. And on the way remind us, as if we needed reminding, just how good a piece SiX really is.
FLIP!
★★★★★ Flipping Fantastic
Racheal Ofori’s FLIP! – at Summerhall to Saturday – combines comedy with social commentary in a play which successfully brings the breathless charge of social media to the stage.
Spring Awakening
★★★★☆ Visceral:
Scuzzy and raw in all the right ways, Eusog’s take on the Rock musical version of Frank Wedenkind’s play about burgeoning youth sexuality has a vital edge to it.
Eusog’s Spring Awakens
Open call for EdFringe Spring Awakening:
Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group has announced its Edinburgh fringe 2016 production as the rock musical Spring Awakening.
The Pillowman
★★★☆☆ Ambitious:
Spirited and clever, EUTC’s production of Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman has all the requisite cartoon violence, but in the end lacks the necessary punch.
Equus
★★★★☆ Darkly iconic:
Stark yet fully rounded, the EUTC’s production of Equus, at the Bedlam to Saturday, gets right to the nub of Peter Shaefer’s script and delivers four square on the drama.
