EUTC to stage [title of show]:

Art and Psychology
Rare staging for David Edgar’s Mary Barnes
The life of celebrated sixties counterculture psychologist RD Laing will be seen in a rare staging of Mary Barnes at Checkpoint on Bristo Place this week.
The Hothouse
★★★☆☆ Sweltering:
The black humour of the absurd runs through Theatre Paradok’s welcome staging of Pinter’s The Hothouse, at the Assembly Roxy to Saturday.
Fear and Misery of the Third Reich
✭✭✭✩✩ Bitty but braw:
Brecht gets a comedic turn at the Assembly Roxy this week, as the QMU students of Cobweb Theatre bring a funny and relevant production of Fear and Misery of the Third Reich.
The Gondoliers
✭✭✭✩✩ Sparkly in places:
Soaraway soloists and a sprinkling of modern references add much needed sparkle to Eusog’s production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Gondoliers which elsewhere lacks emphasis both on stage and in the pit.
Merchants of Little Venice
Pre-WW2 setting for EUSC:
Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice is to get a new production this week which uses the play’s problematic issues of anti-semitism to explore intolerance and racism in 1930s Britain.
