When Prophecy Fails

When Prophecy Fails

★★★★★ Purposeful

Adapted from a 1954 American study into the social psychology and cognitive dissonance of a UFO religion called the Seekers, When Prophecy Fails is an exploration of the community and humanity behind what could easily be perceived as cult.

The Snow Queen

The Snow Queen

★★★★☆ Epic

The Snow Queen at the Lyceum provides thrills, humour and imaginative theatricality. Morna Young’s adaptation (directed by Cora Bissett, with music by Finn Anderson) could not be staged in 2020 for obvious reasons.

PPP: Celestial Body

★★★★☆ Brooding

The return of A Play, A Pie and A Pint to the Traverse with Morna Pearson’s Celestial Body, which runs to Saturday, is certainly something to celebrate.

✭✭✭✩✩ Inventive retread:
Subverting the Princess myth is common currency in contemporary fairy-story retreads. Subverting the Hero myth is another thing all-together – at least to the extent that Charlotte productions take it at the Vault this week.
