Second Honeymoon
★★★★☆ Pacy nostalgia:
Second Honeymoon at Mayfield Salisbury Church extends Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s record-breaking Fringe run with some style. Unashamedly nostalgic and with bags of comic bravado, it purrs like a well-oiled machine.
Cambusdonald Royal
★★★★☆ Knockout knockabout
Mayfield Salisbury Church (Venue 11): Fri 3–Sat 18 Aug 2018
Review by Hugh Simpson
There is an air of freshness and fun to Cambusdonald Royal from Edinburgh People’s Theatre at Mayfield Salisbury Church.
Wedding Fever
★★★★☆ Cavalcade of laughs:
Huge fun and some genuinely good comic acting are to be found in Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s Wedding Fever.
Dick Barton – Special Agent
✭✭✭✭✩ Spiffing entertainment
Knowingly amusing and reassuringly filthy, Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s Dick Barton – Special Agent provides a breathlessly diverting evening at the Church Hill Theatre to Saturday.
Review – The Steamie
✭✭✭✭✩ Extremely funny revival:
Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s revival of The Steamie, which plays at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday, is thoroughly successful and very, very funny.
Review – Hatches, Matches and Dispatches
✭✭✭✩✩ Convincing comic revival:
Edinburgh People’s Theatre are celebrating an astonishing 56th year on the Fringe with this revival of Alan Cochrane’s Hatches, Matches and Dispatches, a Fringe First winner in 1998.
Review – Ne’er the Twain
✭✭✭✩✩ Ever-bubbling:
Couthie comedy is given full and adequate reign in the Edinburgh People’s Theatre fast-moving production of Ne’er The Twain – set in a tenement flat on the Leith-Edinburgh border in October 1919.
Pantomime Review – Ali Baba And The Forty Thieves
★★★★☆ Fun:
All the fun of a traditional Scottish panto is to be had up at the Church Hill Theatre this week, as Edinburgh People’s Theatre take on David Swan’s version of Ali Baba – and hit the mark just about spot on.
