Meteor Shower

Meteor Shower

★★★☆☆ Strong performances

Nothing is quite what it appears to be, in Steve Martin’s fractured marital comedy, Meteor Shower, being staged at St Ninian’s Hall by Edinburgh Theatre Arts until Saturday.

Nell Gwynn

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.

The Front Page

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.

Moon over Buffalo

Moon over Buffalo

★★★☆☆   Comic capers:

A strong sense of purpose and plenty of pace ensure that Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of Moon Over Buffalo at St Ninian’s Church Hall is farcical for all the right reasons.

Improbable Fiction

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.

Impressive on many levels, Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of Noises Off produces more than its fair share of laughs.

Writer’s Block

Writer’s Block

✭✭✭✩✩ I’ll Take This Manhattan
Riverside Drive and Old Saybrook are packed with typically over-educated and over-analytical characters in this Woody Allen double bill, staged with great comedic effect by Edinburgh Theatre Arts.

Comedy Double Bill – Review

Comedy Double Bill – Review

✭✭✭✩✩ Picked mix

A mixed bag of comedy is to be had up at St Ninian’s this week, where Edinburgh Theatre Arts are giving a decent take on one-act comedies new and old.
