The Taming of the Shrew
★★★☆☆ Suspiciously old-fashioned
The Edinburgh Makars’ production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, at the Church Hill until Friday, is an apparently traditional version of the play which may well be more quietly subversive than many modern revisions.
Tartuffe
★★★★☆ Great Scots:
The fundamental comic energy, pace and Scots snap Leitheatre give to Tartuffe at St Serf’s is very welcome, making for a refreshing, breezy production.
The Garden of Delight
★★★☆☆ Scenic:
Making perfect use of one the Fringe’s most idyllic venues, Theatre Alba’s The Garden of Delights is a promenade tale with a strong environmental twist for younger children.
Baba Yaga – junior review
✭✭✭✭✩ Exciting
Junior Review by Cora Dibdin
Baba Yaga at Duddingston Kirk gardens was magical for everyone.
Baba Yaga (And The Girl With The Kind Heart)
✭✭✭✭✩ Spine tingling:
Magnificently malevolent when it needs to be, Theatre Alba’s take on the great Russian folk tale Baba Yaga thrills and frightens in equal measure as it promenades round Dr Neil’s Garden in Duddingston.
