Sands Stirling
1902
★★★★☆ Explosive yet poignant
1902 by Saltire Sky is as slick and strong as ever as it returns home to Edinburgh for its fifth – and final – fringe with a full run at the Leith Arches.
1902
★★★☆☆ Homecoming
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.
Green Tea
★★★☆☆ Nightmarish
Scary and well-thought out, Sophie Good’s adaptation of the short Victorian horror story Green Tea finds suitable resonances in contemporary Edinburgh.
Comfort Slaves
✭✭✭✩✩ Unsettling:
Not for the fainthearted, Comfort Slaves performed by Immersive Acting Movement deals with horrible issues that have become part of our society.
The Lieutenant of Inishmore
★★★☆☆ Pumping:
Gleefully raw and pumping gore, In Your Face Theatre’s immersive production of Martin McDonagh’s bloodbath-thriller, The Lieutenant of Inishmore, lives right up to the company’s name.
