Raw Material
Unicorn Christmas Party
★★★★☆ Boogie time!
It’s a big, glittering, retro disco time at the Studio Theatre, where Unicorns Luna and Melody call on their young (and not-so-young) audience to help save Christmas in Unicorn Christmas Party.
Faint plays Munro’s Katherine
Catriona Faint takes title role in fifth James Play
The title role of Katherine Hamilton in Rona Munro’s latest James Play, James V: Katherine, will be played by Catriona Faint, who was recently seen as Jonathan in the NTS production of Dracula – Mina’s Reckoning.
What Girls Are Made Of
★★★★★ Exhilarating
Cora Bissett is nothing short of incredible in her gig-theatre show What Girls Are Made Of. It is full-throttle, high energy and, at points, it really does feel like you are front row at a gig.
The Stamping Ground
★★★★☆ Vibrant
The Stamping Ground at the Festival Theatre is unabashedly emotional and visually enthralling. Raw Material and Eden Court’s Runrig musical – which played successfully in Inverness in 2022 – is touring Scotland and will surely find appreciative audiences.
Love Beyond (Act of Remembrance)
★★★★☆ Beautifully poignant
The Raw Material / Vanishing Point production of the world premier of Ramesh Meyyappan’s Love Beyond (Act of Remembrance) is a beautifully poignant contribution to this year’s Manipulate Festival.
James IV – Queen of The Fight
★★★★☆ Resonant
James IV – Queen of The Fight at the Festival Theatre until Saturday and then on tour, is epic in scope and highly satisfying.
It’s James IV!
Rona Munro revisits and extends James Plays
Rona Munro is to return to the Kings James for her next play, James IV – Queen of the Fight, which will premiere at Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre in the autumn of 2022 before touring Scotland.
