Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

★★★☆☆ Solid

The Makars give a solid account of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead at the Church Hill Theatre, in a production which speaks to the mundanities of Tom Stoppard’s script while allowing its humour to speak for itself.

Prescription For Murder

Prescription For Murder

★★★☆☆ Pleasing:

Prescription For Murder, from the Edinburgh Makars at the Church Hill Theatre, is one of those odd English crime dramas that provide more reassurance than apprehension.

Good Things

Good Things

★★★☆☆ Heartfelt:
There are plenty of Good Things in the Makars’ production of Liz Lochhead’s play of that name, in a production that is solid if not spectacular.

The Game’s Afoot

The Game’s Afoot

✭✭✭✩✩ Elementary but entertaining:
There is solid, well-crafted entertainment in The Edinburgh Makars’ production of The Game’s Afoot or Holmes For The Holidays. Genuine thrills and spills are in short supply, but great pains have been taken to make a rewarding whole.
