Hazel Murray
The Court
★★★☆☆ Maybe murder

Murder at the Fringe
★★★☆☆ Fun exercise
Murder at the Fringe, by Edinburgh Little Theatre, is extremely courageous. The audience is closely involved in the solving of a murder, with six suspects lined up for questioning.
The Court
★★★☆☆ Interactive
In another of those open-ended court cases where the verdict is up for grabs, Edinburgh Little Theatre’s The Court provides a thought-provoking, carefully constructed hour.
Conflict in Court
★★★★☆ Guilty pleasure
Nicely timed against the backdrop of recent verdicts in the Depp vs Heard trial in the US and the Wagatha Christie trial in the UK, Edinburgh Little Theatre bring Liam Rudden’s well-observed Conflict in Court to Hill Street Theatre for August.
Haggis, Neeps and Burns
★★★☆☆ Lunchtime sustenance:
A pleasing willingness to let Robert Burns speak for himself gives Haggis, Neeps and Burns by Edinburgh Little Theatre at Hill Street a straightforward charm.
The Garden of Delight
★★★☆☆ Scenic:
Making perfect use of one the Fringe’s most idyllic venues, Theatre Alba’s The Garden of Delights is a promenade tale with a strong environmental twist for younger children.
