Gilded Balloon Teviot
The Return of Sherlock Holmes
★★★★☆ Genuine
The Return of Sherlock Holmes is an enjoyable and convincing entertainment at Gilded Balloon Teviot and another convincing literary adaptation from Nigel Miles-Thomas and Fringe Management.
Black is the Color of My Voice
★★★★☆ Spellbinding:
Apphia Campbell triumphs in Black is the Color of My Voice at Gilded Balloon Teviot. A riveting show inspired by the life and music of Nina Simone and featuring songs such as I Put a Spell On You and Feeling Good.
Woke
★★★★☆ Mesmerising:
Returning to the fringe for just six performances at the Gilded Balloon Teviot, Apphia Campbell’s Woke is a powerful one woman show that tells the story of two women 42 years apart.
Rent
★★★★☆ Raw and powerful:
It’s another success story for Edinburgh University Footlights as they put on an emotionally powerful performance of the classic rock music, Rent.
Of Mice And Men
★★★★☆ Tragic triumph:
Of Mice and Men, in the Gilded Balloon Teviot Wine Bar, benefits from one fine performance and one exceptional one.
The Pat Hobby Stories
★★★★☆ Bittersweet tales beautifully performed:
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s later short stories are given a suitably bittersweet telling by Paul Birchard for Fringe Management, at the Gilded Ballon Teviot’s Sportsman room for the whole fringe.
WOKE
★★★★☆ Powerful:
Following the success of 2014 and 2015’s Black Is the Color of My Voice, Apphia Campbell returns to Gilded Balloon with another powerful one-woman show.
The Club
✭✭✭✭✩ Comic bravado:
The Club, the latest play from Edinburgh-born actor and writer Ruaraidh Murray, has a fiercely humorous energy and drive.
