Into the Woods
★★★★☆ Shady:
There’s laughter, edged with more than little darkness, to the Eusog’s splendid and convincing production of Into The Woods playing the Pleasance theatre to Saturday.
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.
The Producers
★★★☆☆ Dedicated:
Taking on the maestro of satire, Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group drags the Pleasance theatre onto Broadway for their performance of Mel Brooks’ The Producers, swastikas and all.
The Drowsy Chaperone
★★★★☆ Shout out:
Edinburgh University Savoy Group bring out the comedy in a rousing take on parody musical-within-a-musical The Drowsy Chaperone at Paradise in Augustines.
Romeo and Juliet
★★★☆☆ Full blooded:
There is plenty to like about the Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company’s full-blooded, modern dress production of Romeo and Juliet at the Pleasance Theatre, to Saturday.
