Future Acts
★★★★☆ Pleasingly varied
Future Acts is an intriguing programme of future-facing short films commissioned by the National Theatre of Scotland, playing in a short run of one-off performances in cinemas across the country before airing on BBC digital platforms next year.
Lyceum at Home on Stage
★★★★☆ Inviting
The Lyceum’s At Home on Stage provides an affecting series of performances, losing a little when divorced from their original settings, but convincing nevertheless.
The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart
★★★★★ Celebratory
The Royal Lyceum’s revival of the renowned The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, at the University of Edinburgh’s Playfair Library, keeps everything that has made the play such a success. And then adds more on top.
Frankenstein
★★☆☆☆ Not chilling:
Confused in its execution, Selladoor’s touring version of Frankenstein has high production values but offers little in the way of pre-Hallowe’en excitement.
The Dark Carnival
★★★☆☆ Striking:
In The Dark Carnival, Vanishing Point has crafted a strangely fascinating but oddly frustrating entertainment – theatre-cum-gig-cum-cabaret that impresses in fits and starts.
