Same Team
★★★★★ Unmissable!
The combined frenzy of the Fringe and the Paris Olympics couldn’t be a more apt time to stage Same Team at The Traverse Theatre, directed by Bryony Shanahan and written by Robbie Gordon and Jack Nurse with the women of Street Soccer Scotland.
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.
Battery Park
★★★★☆ Musically convincing
Battery Park, the touring production from Sleeping Warrior and the Beacon Arts Centre at the Traverse for two nights only, is a gripping and tuneful piece of theatre.
At the Book Festival
Theatre news from the EIBF:
The Edinburgh International Book Festival continues to offer many events designed to appeal to theatre-goers.
PPP: Pleading
★★★★☆ Tensely human:
Rob Drummond’s Pleading gets the latest series of A Play, A Pie and A Pint at the Traverse off to a particularly strong start.
The Broons
★★★★☆ Cheery:
Loud, hugely enjoyable and instantly recognisable, The Broons, playing the King’s to Saturday, is every bit as much fun as you would hope.
First Look: The Broons
DC Thomson’s comic strip hits the stage:
The new stage production based on DC Thomson’s 80 year-old comic strip, The Broons, had its press night at Perth Concert Hall last night, 29 September 2016.
The Year of the Hare
✭✭✭✩✩ Emotional rollercoaster
Young critic scheme review:
Creative, absorbing, and very wacky, the Finnish Ryhmateatteri Ensemble’s version of Arto Paasilinna’s popular book, originally published in 1975, certainly leaves an impact.
