Raw Material
PPP: Wallace
★★★★☆ Intelligent fun
Wallace, the first in the new season from Play, Pie and a Pint at the Traverse, is a sparky, original and historically aware co-production from Òran Mór and Raw Material.
Karine Polwart: Windblown
★★★★★ Beautiful
Karine Polwart: Windblown, presented by Raw Material at the Queen’s Hall for five days only, is a magnificent combination of music, storytelling, poetry and theatre.
Lear
★★★★★ Magnificent
Lear by Ramesh Meyyappan at the Traverse is a stunning piece of work – raw and delicate, disciplined and chaotic, frightening and beautiful.
Death of a Salesman
★★★☆☆ Modern Tragedy
Arthur Miller’s enduring tragedy Death of a Salesman leaves no question of the play’s outcome in its title, or in this new production from Trafalgar Theatre Productions and Raw Material touring to the Festival Theatre.
So Young
★★★★☆ Pointed
So Young by Douglas Maxwell, the Traverse co-production with Raw Material and the Citizens, is a sharply observed, profound and beautifully acted piece of theatre.

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.
