Mother Clap’s Molly House

Mother Clap’s Molly House

★★★★☆ Gloriously vulgar

The EUTC deliver a fully frank and deliciously frivolous take on Mother Clap’s Molly House, Mark Ravenhill’s dark comedy with songs, which plays the Bedlam to Saturday.

Lost and Found

Lost and Found

★★★★☆ Buzzy

The Counterminers’ Lost and Found at Just the Tonic at The Caves fairly crackles and fizzes with life. Humorous and heartfelt, it heads into some well-trodden territory at times, but always has enough that is novel to make it a joy.

Shakers

Shakers

★★★☆☆ Funny

The EUTC make a decent fist of Shakers, at the Bedlam all week, playing to the broad comedy of the John Godber and Jane Thornton’s script but finding their best in its moments of pathos.

Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar

★★★☆☆ Uneven

Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company’s Julius Caesar, in the Teviot Debating Hall, is as unpredictable as it is ambitious. It is by turn sublime and ridiculous, well thought out at times and inexplicable at others.

A Dolls House

A Dolls House

★★★☆☆ Effervescent

The EUTC have taken Ibsen’s great classic, A Dolls House, and given it an immersive telling at the Bedlam all week, in a production which updates the setting to contemporary times.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

★★★☆☆ Spacey

Brief, but never tedious, the jazz-infused production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream from Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company at Assembly Roxy is packed with great ideas and quirky detail.
