The Virtuous Burglar
★★★☆☆ Uproarious
A nod to British 1970s classics is a smart touch adding comic familiarity to Italian farce The Virtuous Burglar, which appears at the Royal Scots Club until 9 August.
The Ruffian on the Stair
★★☆☆☆ Falls short
For the second of their Fringe productions, EGTG revive The Ruffian on the Stair, a little-known Joe Orton play, sixty years after it debuted as a BBC radio play.
The Satyricon
★★★☆☆ Smutty
Martin Foreman’s new adaptation of Petronius’s first century bawdy comic romp, The Satyricon, is at Assembly Roxy to Saturday in an initially awkward staging that eventually finds its pace and pomp.
Hay Fever
★★★☆☆ Lightly hilarious
Every family has their foibles, but the Bliss family are next-level eccentric in Noel Coward’s delicious comedy Hay Fever – brought to the Assembly Roxy by EGTG for four performances only.
