Maggie & Me

Maggie & Me

★★★☆☆ Resonant but unwieldy

The National Theatre of Scotland’s Maggie & Me, touring to the Traverse, is an odd beast indeed. It has a great deal to say about both the personal and the political, but some of it is lost in an over-ambitious, wildly inconsistent production.

★★★★★ Not too many:

Life in a nutshell

The Nutshell theatre company think big, there’s no doubt about it. One hundred performances of their hit Allotment last year is evidence enough – the site specific piece is performed in a specifically grown allotment each venue.

Review – The Dark Things

Review – The Dark Things

★★★★☆:

Porno, snuff and pretentious art are the dark things which director Dominic Hill and writer Ursula Rani Sarma are conjuring with at Edinburgh’s Traverse Theatre.
