PenPal Productions
Listings: Mon 12 – Sun 18 Jan 2025
What’s on Edinburgh’s stages this week?
Not a lot, it must be said. Just the two bona fide pieces of theatre for your delectation over this seven days. Both only on for one day. The mid-January doldrums really have been reached.

What’s on Edinburgh’s stages this week?
Not a lot, to be honest. Three one-off performances equates to not so much a lull before the storm that is the Edinburgh Fringe, but a full-on becalming.

The Lament of Dorothy Wordsworth
★★★☆☆ Meditative history:
The Lament of Dorothy Wordsworth, by PenPal Productions at Paradise in The Vault, is a careful piece of literary and historic interest.
