Hannah Jarrett-Scott
Stand & Deliver: The Lee Jeans Sit-In
★★★★☆ Delivers
The National Theatre of Scotland and the Tron Theatre’s touring production Stand & Deliver: The Lee Jeans Sit-in at the Traverse is both entertaining and affecting. The politically charged gig-musical is a thoroughly enjoyable, utterly necessary reminder of recent history.
PPP: Maybe Tomorrow
★★★☆☆ Jolly
Maybe Tomorrow, by Brian James O’Sullivan and Hannah Jarrett-Scott from Òran Mór at the Traverse, is one of those mini-musicals that A Play, A Pie & A Pint does so well. If it is all a bit inconsequential, it is highly enjoyable.
Book Festival 2025 – the final round-up
McDermid play and other performances
The final few days of the Book Festival featured several more theatre-adjacent events, with one of the most eagerly anticipated being And Midnight Never Come, Val McDermid’s play about Christopher Marlowe, which was given a script-in-hand performance in conjunction with Pitlochry Festival Theatre, directed by Philip Howard.
Wild Rose
★★★★★ Triumphant
New musical Wild Rose is the last show of David Greig’s eight years as Artistic Director of the Lyceum and it is an absolute triumph.
Same Team – A Street Soccer Story
★★★★☆ Exhilarating
Same Team – A Street Soccer Story, the Traverse’s December production, may be short on tinsel – but in its thought-provoking and frequently exuberant nature, it is peculiarly apposite for the season.
Football play closes Trav 60
Same Team – Street Soccer Story to play Traverse in December
The final play of the Traverse’s 60th anniversary season is to be Same Team – Street Soccer Story, by Robbie Gordon and Jack Nurse, created with the women of Street Soccer’s Dundee Change Centre and inspired by the Homeless World Cup.
PPP: Burning Bright
★★☆☆☆ Committed
Burning Bright, Oran Mor’s latest A Play, A Pie and A Pint at the Traverse, features impressive performances and confident staging in the service of vital themes. However, it never quite fuses together into a persuasive whole.
Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of)
★★★★★ Spectacular comedy feast
Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) returns to Edinburgh in spectacular style. The retelling of Jane Austen’s classic highlights a time when, for a woman, finding financial security in the shape of a man took priority, while featuring a strong all-female cast who prove that women really can do it all.
