Leitheatre
SCDA One Acts
★★★★☆ Varied:
By turns surreal, impeccably directed and heartbreaking, the first three finalists of the SCDA’s One-Act Festival finals ensured that the opening night lived up to its billing.
Leitheatre triumph
Company win SCDA Eastern heat of one act fest:
Leitheatre has won the SCDA’s eastern divisional finals of the 2016 one acts festival in Lochgelly and is through to the Scottish finals at the Church Hill Theatre.
SCDA One Act results
All the winners and trophies:
Three productions shared the seven main prizes in the Edinburgh District round of the 2016 SCDA One Act Festival, held at the Church Hill Theatre this week (Thurs 18 – Sat 20 Feb).
St Serf’s win One Act
Erica & Me runs out on top:
St Serfs Players have won the Edinburgh round of the SCDA’s 2016 One Act Festival with their production of Eria & Me directed by Philip Wilson.
Lovers
★★★☆☆ Emotive:
There’s a truth and vulnerability to Leitheatre’s take on Brian Friel’s early pair of conjoined plays, Lovers: Winners and Losers, at the Church Hill to Saturday.
Church Hill Lovers
Friel’s Lovers for Leitheatre:
Fans of the late great Irish playwright Brian Friel should be in for a treat this week as Leitheatre revive one of his early plays, Lovers, at the Church Hill Theatre.
Dolly West’s Kitchen
★★★★★ Feisty fighting:
Dolly West’s Kitchen tells the tale of war: war between countries, war within families and the personal wars everyone fights. Leitheatre’s production at the Studio is feisty, fun and it certainly grips and entertains.
Æ in the hot seat
SCDA One-Act Festival takes shape:
Plays by David Greig, Peter Quinter and Eleanor Fossey feature in this year’s one-act festival from the SCDA, playing at the Church Hill Theatre Thursday 19 – Saturday 21 February 2015.
Men Should Weep
✭✭✭✭✩ Moving:
A fusion of high drama and earthiness, executed with precision and real emotion, Leitheatre’s Men Should Weep at the Church Hill Theatre is thoroughly satisfying.
Paras over the Barras
✭✭✩✩✩ Sketchy comedy
Delivering the toe-curling one-liners with a relatively straight face, Leitheatre’s reprise of Paras over the Barras is sketch show comedy shot through with nostalgia for the WW2 spirit.
