I Hate It Here
★★★★☆ Love it here
There are no winners in Sweet Beef’s magnificent I Hate It Here, touring to Summerhall for two nights only, which dives smoothly from joy to desperation in its exploration of zero hour contract culture.
Bare Threads
★★★☆☆ Expressive experimentation:
Bare Threads, Theatre Paradok’s production at theSpace on Niddry Street, is often fascinating and occasionally beautiful.
Bare Threads Casting Call
Paradok issue #EdFringe open call:
Edinburgh’s Paradok Theatre has put out an open casting call for Bare Threads, its production for this year’s fringe 2017.
Urinetown: The Musical
★★★☆☆ Tuneful:
Accomplished musicality and some excellent dancing distinguish Edinburgh University Footlights’ Urinetown at the Church Hill. However, it is at the service of a damp satire that never truly ignites.
Lippy
★★★☆☆ Ambitious:
By turns absurd, winsome and tragic, Theatre Paradok’s Lippy at theSpace on the Mile is a challenging, bleakly funny and ultimately impenetrable affair.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
✭✭✭✭✩ Swift & dynamic:
An energetic and effervescent force runs through Gin and Tonic Productions take on one of Shakespeare’s most imaginative and delightful comedies.
