Saltire Sky Theatre
Bits ‘N’ Pieces
★★★★☆ Timely
Saltire Sky Theatre’s revival of their 2022 Fringe hit Bits ‘N’ Pieces at Leith Arches is a timely reminder of the lives and deaths of the real people that lie behind the statistics around drug deaths.
MANikin
★★★★☆ Breathtaking performance
One of two plays that Saltire Sky Theatre are bringing to Leith Arches for this year’s Fringe, MANikin looks at society’s views on obesity and obsession with body image.
1902
★★★★☆ Explosive yet poignant

Bits ‘N’ Pieces
★★★★☆ Electric
Bits ‘N’ Pieces, Saltire Sky’s new immersive show at Leith Arches, immediately transports you to a rave, with vibrant flashing lights, energetic dance moves and music that will pulse through your body.

There is a celebratory air to 1902 at Easter Road. Saltire Sky’s production of Nathan Scott-Dunn’s play has been staged to great acclaim for several years, but has finally arrived at the home of Hibernian FC, who are the focus of much of the action.

1902
★★★☆☆ A game on stage:
It’s 2016. Hibernian F.C. haven’t won the Scottish Cup since 1902. Now, four guys in their early twenties would do anything to see the final against the Rangers…
