Beauty & the Beast: The Panto

Beauty & the Beast: The Panto

★★★☆☆ Charming

Beauty & the Beast: The Panto, the Christmas offering from Forth Children’s Theatre, has the appeal of a traditional pantomime. Like many pantos, it lacks a little in subtlety and smoothness, but makes up for it in determination and pizzazz.

Once On This Island

Once On This Island

★★★★☆    Poignant energy:

There is real emotional pull to Forth Children’s Theatre’s Once On This Island at the Edinburgh Tabernacle. Director Alex Gordon has fashioned a production that relies on careful staging and a fidelity to the story that makes for an expressive, impressive production.
