The Grandfathers

The Grandfathers

★★★★☆ Intense

Exploring the rather heavy theme of enforced national conscription, Reconnect Regal Theatre’s production of Rory Mullarkey’s 2013 play The Grandfathers is surprisingly entertaining.

Alfie and George

Alfie and George

★★★☆☆ Last curtain

If the ghost of Samuel Beckett was invited to return from the grave to write an episode of Inside No.9 he might have come up with a similar idea to the one used for Alfie and George at Hill Street Theatre.

Avenue Q

Avenue Q

★★★★☆ Organised chaos

If you are not familiar with Avenue Q, being staged by Edinburgh Little Theatre at Hill Street – a Q virgin – be prepared to be surprised and very amused by Muppet-like hand puppets swearing, acting inappropriately and addressing adult issues head on.

The Venetian Twins

The Venetian Twins

★★★★☆ Finest farce

Two years after they were meant to be bringing The Venetian Twins to Hill Street Theatre, Arkle Theatre Company’s production of Tony Cowie’s adaptation of the play finally made it to the theatre on Wednesday night. It was well worth the wait.
