Raphaella Hawkins
Romeo and Juliet
★★★☆☆ Expansive
Romeo and Juliet, from the Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company at the Pleasance, is a production on a grand scale. There is much about it that is praiseworthy, but in the end its ambition does prove a disadvantage.
The End of the Line
★★★★☆ Feelgood existentialism
The End of the Line – a feelgood apocalypse comedy at the Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s Bedlam Theatre until 10 August – gives dynamic 1980s vibes, both in its power pop soundtrack and nuclear annihilation storyline.
Jellyfish
★★★☆☆ Intriguingly absurdist
Jellyfish, a co-production between The EUTC and Filfbag Theatre at the Bedlam to Sunday, is an intriguingly absurdist tale.
End of the Line
★★★☆☆ Light-hearted
Theatre Paradok make a whimsical exploration of impending nuclear disaster in End of the Line, at the Augustine United Church on George IV Bridge until Monday 18 November.
