Capture the Flag!

★★★☆☆ Good fun

Capture the Flag! follows a group of fast-food workers on a mandatory company retreat where tensions build and relationships are tested. The Napier Drama Society’s Winter Show at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, is a light-hearted satire filled with workplace drama and absurdity.

The Boys in the Band

The Boys in the Band

★★★★☆ Engaging

The EUTC’s engaging production of Mart Crowley’s 1968, New York-set gay drama, The Boys in the Band, is a well-observed affair which is at its best when it goes past the play’s innate waspishness to find its inner anger.

Mother Clap’s Molly House

★★★★☆ Gloriously vulgar

Salomé

Salomé

★★★★☆ Uneven but compelling

Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s presentation of Oscar Wilde’s Salomé is wilfully uneven, not always carefully judged, yet ultimately extremely impressive.

Shakers

Shakers

★★★☆☆ Funny

The EUTC make a decent fist of Shakers, at the Bedlam all week, playing to the broad comedy of the John Godber and Jane Thornton’s script but finding their best in its moments of pathos.

Translations

Translations

★★★★☆ Clear

Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar

★★★☆☆ Uneven

Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company’s Julius Caesar, in the Teviot Debating Hall, is as unpredictable as it is ambitious. It is by turn sublime and ridiculous, well thought out at times and inexplicable at others.

Jesus Christ Superstar

Jesus Christ Superstar

★★★☆☆ Full blast

There is one big sing on offer up at the Church Hill Theatre this week, and two big pairs of lungs which are equal to the task in the Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group’s staging of Jesus Christ Superstar.
