The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
★★★★☆ Stunningly crafted
EGTG’s production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, at the Assembly Roxy to Friday, is a beautifully directed exploration of the autistic experience, based on Mark Haddon’s novel of the same name.
Murder at the Fringe 1
★★★☆☆ Entertaining
Murder at the Fringe 1 presented by Edinburgh Little Theatre and featured at Braw’s George Street venue in the Grand Lodge, is a puzzling, interactive whodunnit.
The Watsons
★★★★☆ Intriguing
The Watsons, from Edinburgh People’s Theatre at the Church Hill, is an attractive production of a clever (if distinctly odd) literary adaptation.
Dangerous Corner
★★★★☆ Absorbing
The Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group’s production of J.B. Priestley’s Dangerous Corner, upstairs at the Assembly Roxy until Saturday, is a tense affair, well staged and compelling.
The Court
★★★☆☆ Maybe murder
Edinburgh Little Theatre’s interactive court-set drama, The Court, finds a middle aged woman accused by her sister of murdering their mother and is run on the Lunchtime Theatre principle of adding a pie and bevvy to the ticket price.
Murder at the Fringe
★★★☆☆ Fun exercise
Murder at the Fringe, by Edinburgh Little Theatre, is extremely courageous. The audience is closely involved in the solving of a murder, with six suspects lined up for questioning.
Brief Encounter
★★★★☆ Imaginative
Reassuring without being cosy, and fabulously inventive, Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s Brief Encounter at the Church Hill celebrates the possibilities of theatre while having considerable emotional impact.
Brassed Off
★★★★☆ Tragicomic grandeur
If we must have music-driven stage adaptations of films, they should be like Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s impressive production of Brassed Off, where the music is integral to a story that actually means something.
(There Are) No Strangers Here
★★★☆☆ Poetic
(There Are) No Strangers Here, a lively and pointed new piece from local community writing group, One Foot in the Future, is at the Netherbow theatre for three performances only.
One foot in the Future
U3A inspired show for Netherbow
(There Are) No Strangers Here, a new play by four members of the Leith-based Citadel writers is set to debut this Friday 9 September 2022 for three performances only at the Netherbow Theatre in the Scottish Storytelling Centre
