Half Trick
Waiting for Wonka
★★★☆☆ Overstretched
Half Trick’s Waiting for Wonka at Augustine Church has plenty of ideas, excellent staging and some genuinely terrific performances, but never quite convinces in the way it threatens to.

What’s on Edinburgh’s stages this week
There’s a world premiere performance from Rambert for dance fans, the last stop in a big touring musical and a couple of top tips from the local amateurs.
Antonio’s Revenge
★★☆☆☆ Unfathomable
Antonio’s Revenge is a definite oddity, not made any less strange by its staging by Edinburgh/New Zealand company Half Trick Theatre at C alto on even dates of the Fringe only.
The Faustus Project
★★★★★ Fiendish
Imaginative physicality, wry hi-jinks and a fiendish twist are a winning brew in Half Trick’s The Faustus Project, a romp through Christopher Marlowe’s Elizabethan drama, Doctor Faustus.
