EUTC
Who We Are Now
Work in Progress: 70s/80s vibe
Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s Who We Are Now, written and directed by Thaddeus Buttrey and produced by Ching Zhan, is a rock opera presented as a work in progress, that is already giving off a very enjoyable 70s/80s vibe.
Buttrey rocks Bedlam
EUTC workshop new rock musical at Bedlam
Thaddeus Buttrey wrote his first song when he was 10 years old and first performed in a musical when he was 13. Now, the Edinburgh University phd student is set to have his rock musical Who We Are Now staged by the EUTC in their Bedlam theatre.
Things I Know to be True
★★★★☆ Captivating
Things I Know to be True by the Australian writer, Andrew Bovell, staged by Edinburgh University Theatre Company at the Bedlam to Saturday, is a less well-known piece, although Higher Drama students may know it intimately.
Salomé
★★★★☆ Uneven but compelling
Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s presentation of Oscar Wilde’s Salomé is wilfully uneven, not always carefully judged, yet ultimately extremely impressive.
Shakers
★★★☆☆ Funny
The EUTC make a decent fist of Shakers, at the Bedlam all week, playing to the broad comedy of the John Godber and Jane Thornton’s script but finding their best in its moments of pathos.
Spiderman: Into the Pantoverse
★★★☆☆ Cheerful
Complicated plot twists and uncomplicated fun collide in Spiderman: Into the Pantoverse, EUTC’s unruly but heartfelt pantomime which plays at the Bedlam to Saturday.
A Dolls House
★★★☆☆ Effervescent
The EUTC have taken Ibsen’s great classic, A Dolls House, and given it an immersive telling at the Bedlam all week, in a production which updates the setting to contemporary times.
