Comedy Double Bill
★★★★☆ Entertaining
Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ Comedy Double Bill is a thoroughly enjoyable evening, with one half being diverting and the other half outstanding.
A Woman of No Importance
★★★★☆ Assured
Edinburgh Theatre Arts provide a very well judged production of Oscar Wilde’s A Woman of No Importance at St Ninian’s throughout the first fortnight of the Fringe.
Go Back for Murder
★★★★☆ Convincing
Go Back for Murder, Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ first stab at Agatha Christie, is a well considered and very well performed affair. If it drags a little at times, it always convinces nonetheless.
The Misanthrope
★★★★☆ Well judged
Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of The Misanthrope at St Ninian’s Church Hall is a clever and thoroughly enjoyable piece of theatre.
Nell Gwynn
★★★★☆ Cheerful
Nell Gwynn, presented by Edinburgh Theatre Arts at St Ninian’s, is a hugely enjoyable romp, presented by an enviably well-drilled cast.
Passing Places
★★★★☆ Charming
After too long away, Edinburgh Theatre Arts are back in Stockbridge with their take on Passing Places, exhibiting a vibrant spirit and huge delight.
The Front Page
★★★★☆ Extreme energy:
There is more nervous energy in Edinburg Theatre Arts’ The Front Page at St Ninian’s Hall than in five average Fringe productions, and the result is very pleasing.
Improbable Fiction
★★★★☆ Varieties of fun:
Edinburgh Theatre Arts are not the only group presenting Alan Ayckbourn this year. While other productions may be more high-profile, it is unlikely they will be much more fun than this production of Improbable Fiction at St Ninian’s.
The Memory of Water
★★★☆☆ Fluid:
There are some very good performances of recognisable human dilemmas in Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of The Memory of Water at St Ninian’s.
Noises Off
✭✭✭✭✩ Not just technically funny:
Impressive on many levels, Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of Noises Off produces more than its fair share of laughs.
