The Addams Family
★★★☆☆ It really is a scream
America’s funniest family of wacky weirdos – sorry, Munsters – rise again as Loretto Theatre hosts the Brunton’s Youth programme production of The Addams Family.
Grease

Grease is the word once more at Edinburgh Playhouse this week and there’s no better way to fill those summer nights.
