Emma Rice
Brief Encounter
★★★★☆ Imaginative
Reassuring without being cosy, and fabulously inventive, Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s Brief Encounter at the Church Hill celebrates the possibilities of theatre while having considerable emotional impact.
Blue Beard
★★★★☆ Furiously funny
A riotous combination of anger and dizzying theatrical invention, Blue Beard at the Lyceum until the end of the month, is troubling and messy in exactly the right ways.
Lyceum 23/24 season ticket launched
Lyceum announces biggest season in years
The Lyceum has announced its 2023/24 subscription season, with the biggest programme since 2018. A strongly Scottish and literary theme is balanced by a series of collaborations with companies from Scotland, the UK and further afield.
Wuthering Heights
★★★☆☆ Overstretched
Emma Rice’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights for Wise Children with the UK National Theatre, Bristol Old Vic and York Theatre Royal is full of energy and ideas. Indeed, too full for its own good at times.
Rebecca
★★★★☆ Curiously inventive:
Kneehigh Theatre have certainly put their own stamp on Daphne Du Maurier’s 1938 novel, Rebecca.
