Brief Encounter
★★★★☆ Imaginative
Reassuring without being cosy, and fabulously inventive, Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s Brief Encounter at the Church Hill celebrates the possibilities of theatre while having considerable emotional impact.
EPT’s Encounter
EPT take on Emma Rice adaptation of Coward
Emma Rice’s adaptation of Brief Encounter, the David Lean 1945 film, is brought to the Church Hill Theatre stage by Edinburgh People’s Theatre for four performances only, this coming week, Wed 27 to Sat 30 March, 2024.
Brassed Off
★★★★☆ Tragicomic grandeur
If we must have music-driven stage adaptations of films, they should be like Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s impressive production of Brassed Off, where the music is integral to a story that actually means something.
Bloody Wimmin
★★★★☆ Connecting
Strong individual performances ensure that EGTG’s production of Lucy Kirkwood’s Bloody Wimmin, at the Royal Scots Club for one week only, gives real life to the connection between two protest movements, twenty years apart.
A Tomb With A View
★★★☆☆ Ridiculous
Cheerfully ludicrous and staged with considerable craft, Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s production of A Tomb With A View is thoroughly entertaining.
