Make It Happen (EIF)

★★★★☆ Salutary reminder

Make It Happen at the Festival Theatre has all of the trappings of an Event with a capital E. Even if it doesn’t quite justify that status, it is impressive.

Lanark

✭✭✭✭✩ The unstageable, staged:
A world of hugely entertaining possibilities is on display in Lanark. The co-production between the Citizens Theatre and the International Festival has all of the excitement and weight of a capital-letter Theatre Event.

✭✭✭✭✩ Slightly imperfect

Infectious and entertaining, The Beautiful Cosmos of Ivor Cutler is an engaging production whose flaws do not detract from its essential likeability.

Dunsinane

Dunsinane

★★★★☆ Subtlety finds solid ground

David Greig’s Dunsinane, a ‘continuation’ of Macbeth with nods to contemporary events, is once again on tour thanks to the National Theatre of Scotland and the Royal Shakespeare Company, and if anything it seems like an even better play than it did last time round.
