Saughtonhall Drama Group
EdFringe Theatre – Amateur companies
Edinburgh’s Amateur theatre companies on the Fringe:
There are more shows made by Edinburgh-based companies at this year’s fringe than all the shows at the 1972 Edinburgh fringe put together. Here’s our listing of the Amateur Theatre Companies.
Cocoa and Cuddles
★★☆☆☆ Curiously disconnected:
Saughtonhall Drama Club opens its 70th anniversary year with Cocoa and Cuddles by Jane Lockyer Willis, a strange and worryingly disconnected piece of theatre.
Open call for Saughtonhall
West Edinburgh amateurs hold hold open evening:
Saughtonhall Drama Group is holding an open evening and audition for its Spring show, Cocoa and Cuddles by Jane Lockyer Willis, this Friday 26 January 2018.
Ladies’ Day
★★★★☆ Good each-way bet
Saughtonhall Drama Club’s Ladies’ Day has warm humour, the odd spiky line and a finely put together production.
Hatches, Matches and Dispatches
★★★★☆ Beautiful timing:
There is genuine warmth in Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Hatches, Matches and Dispatches, adding to a real drive and considerable understanding of comedy.
Puss In Boots
★★★★☆ Huge laughs:
Great fun is to be had at Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Puss In Boots, which gets the pantomime season off to a riotous start.
Saughtonhall Panto auditions
Casting call for Puss in Boots:
Saughtonhall Drama Society has put out a casting call for its 2016 pantomime Puss in Boots, which will run from Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 November 2016.
Ne’er the Twain
★★★★☆ Funny:
Bold, fast-paced and verging on the hysterical at times, Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Ne’er The Twain is a tremendously enjoyable production.
A Murder Is Announced
★★★☆☆ Pleasing:
Thoughtful and well staged, Saughtonhall Drama Group’s production of Agatha Christie’s A Murder Is Announced is a solid evening’s entertainment.
Geronimo
★★★★☆ Warmly funny:
There is a great deal of laughter in Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Geronimo. There is also a decidedly warm and comforting feeling to the whole show, despite a few odd moments.
