The Sideshow
★★★☆☆ In the zone:
In the week when moves to regulate AirBnB failed and it was decided to curtain Princess Street Gardens off during commercial gigs, Active Inquiry’s The Sideshow feels remarkably relevant.

EH 16: Pyre
★★★☆☆ Unclear power:
EH 16: Pyre, Nevermore’s production in the downstairs studio at TheSpace Triplex is a determinedly political look at violence against women both in history and today. While at times diffuse, it has an undeniable power.

Tea and Nuisance
★★★☆☆ Charming:
Tea and Nuisance, by Foxfire Theatre, is an unusual but charming take on Lewis Carroll’s much loved story, Alice in Wonderland.

Into The Woods
★★★★☆ Dark magic:
Wise beyond their years, the young performers of Stage Experience find the dark corners of Sondheim and Lapine’s great musical Into the Woods at the Edinburgh Playhouse.

Paras over the Barras
✭✭✩✩✩ Sketchy comedy
Delivering the toe-curling one-liners with a relatively straight face, Leitheatre’s reprise of Paras over the Barras is sketch show comedy shot through with nostalgia for the WW2 spirit.
