New Celts
Follow Me
★★★★☆ Weirdly plausible
The Dog Ate My Theatre and New Celts’ Follow Me at theSpace on the Mile is a breathless and often ludicrous romp whose sheer brass neck, and roots in contemporary unreality, win out in the end.
Living the Dream
★★★☆☆ Sympathetic
A subtle and affecting portrait of young men, Steel Antler and New Celts’ Living The Dream at theSpace on the Mile does not always succeed in forging its own identity but has much to recommend it.
It’s Always Sunny on Olympus
★★★☆☆ Fun
Combining sitcom and mythology is the kind of high-concept premise that can always find a willing audience at the Fringe. It’s Always Sunny on Olympus from Mind Yer Head and New Celts at theSpace on The Mile doesn’t completely succeed in living up to its promise, but is entertaining nevertheless.
Turn The Screw, Tickety-Boo
★★★★☆ Empathetic
Turn The Screw, Tickety-Boo! by David Scott, performed by Faceless Theatre and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile, is a compassionate piece of theatre that overcomes some peculiarities with assured direction and performances.
The Hypochondriac
★★★★★ Theatrical medicine
The Hypochondriac from Rebrand Theatre and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile is a comic triumph. Intelligently adapted and acted by a company bursting with comic potential, it is hugely entertaining, resolutely theatrical and recommended without hesitation.
Angelshark
★★★★☆ Considered
Blue Dot Theatre and New Celts’ Angelshark, by Annie White, at theSpace on the Mile is a clever and polished piece that does not shout about its values but has real heart.
Confessions of a Lunatic
★★★☆☆ Atmospheric
An attempt to go over familiar ground in a new way is not always wholly successful in Confessions of a Lunatic, from Nightshade Theatre and New Celts.
Screaming Into the Void
★★★☆☆ Intriguing premise
Clever writing and fine acting characterise Piece of Work Theatre and New Celts’ Screaming Into the Void at theSpace on the Mile on even dates throughout the Fringe. The result is not always focused, but is always interesting.
The Big Day
★★★★☆ Absorbing
The Big Day by Milly Sweeney, Pure Class and New Celts’ production at theSpace on the Mile on even dates throughout the Fringe, is an extremely impressive piece of politically informed, compassionate theatre.
You Have Failed Me for the Last Time
★★☆☆☆ Patchy
The Optimiserables and New Celts’ You Have Failed Me For The Last Time is only patchily entertaining. At theSpace on the Mile on even dates throughout the Fringe, it is neither a full-blown parody nor a fully coherent piece of drama.
