Men Don’t Talk
★★★★☆ Compelling
Clare Prenton and Genesis Theatre’s Men Don’t Talk is a compelling introduction to the idea of the Men’s Shed Movement, staged in the Netherbow Theatre as part of the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival, in partnership with Scottish Men’s Shed Association and Luminate.
Frankenstein
★★☆☆☆ Not chilling:
Confused in its execution, Selladoor’s touring version of Frankenstein has high production values but offers little in the way of pre-Hallowe’en excitement.
The Crucible
★★★☆☆ Clear focus:
Exceptional clarity characterises the Lyceum’s production of The Crucible, whose focus on small details reaps rewards but does so at the expense of dramatic impact.
Review – The Price
* * * * *
Arthur Miller’s late-Sixties hit provides a thoroughly satisfying start to the Royal Lyceum’s year. It’s a piece which, in the right hands, has comedy and depth, as estranged brothers Victor and Walter pick over their dead father’s belongings with furniture dealer Solomon.
