Neil Simon
Barefoot in the Park
★★★☆☆ Diligent
The Edinburgh Makars return to the Hepburn Suite at the Royal Scots Club with Barefoot in the Park. Their production of Neil Simon’s comedy is solid and well crafted, but real comic punch comes inconsistently.
Grogan goes Barefoot at Lyceum
Clare Grogan joins Barefoot in the Park at Lyceum:
Altered Images singer Clare Grogan is to feature in the Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Royal Lyceum Theatre’s co-production of Barefoot in the Park, playing Edinburgh in April.
Sweet Charity
★★★★★ Charity ball:
The minute you walk in the joint, you can see Sweet Charity at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday, is a show of distinction.
Plaza Suite
★★★☆☆ Erratic comedy:
The Edinburgh Makars’ production of Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite has considerable comic appeal, even if it takes some time to materialise.
The Gingerbread Lady
★★★☆☆ Emotional
Convincing portrayals and realistic emotions are a feature of the Makars’ production of Neil Simon’s The Gingerbread Lady at the Royal Scots Club.
Rumours
✭✭✭✩✩ Frantic fun
Energetic, consistent and farcically daft, Arkle Theatre Company’s production of Rumours provides some diverting entertainment.
Review – Come Blow Your Horn
✭✭✭✩✩ Enjoyable retro entertainment
The Edinburgh Makars provide a solid evening’s entertainment and some big laughs in their production of Neil Simon’s Come Blow Your Horn at Murrayfield Parish Church Centre.
