Moonswing
★★★★☆ Heartfelt
Simply Surreal revive their debut play Moonswing to celebrate ten years as a company. Playing at Greenside’s Riddles Court this is a coherent, touching play with a trio of consummate performances and some subtly powerful stage images.
Checking In
★★★★☆ Captivating
Bringing a fresh energy to the many familiar fictional tropes that use death as a character is a tough job. However, Simply Surreal carries it off with ease in Checking In, a laugh out loud, pacey and thought-provoking two-hander written by Dougal Thomson and directed by Lisa McDonald.
Past Life
★★★☆☆ Strong comedy
Set in what initially appears to be the backstage area of a theatre, Past Life from Simply Surreal, at Greenside Riddles Court for the last week of the Fringe only, provides a glimpse into the life of a reality TV show host and, in a humorous way, reveals it to be a fairy miserable existence.
