New shows announced for Festival, Kings and Studio theatres
Capital Theatre has announced a raft of 32 new productions being staged at the Festival, King’s and Studio theatres between this May and next May 2027.
The Raft of the Crab
★★★★☆ Inventively emotional
The Raft of the Crab, at the Studio Theatre for one performance only as part of Manipulate, is an engaging, human and wonderfully performed piece from Scotland-based Ninon Noiret, detailing her diagnosis of cancer, her treatment and recovery.
Snowy
★★★☆☆ Puppy fun
Loveable pup Snowy tumbles into the Studio Theatre until the end of December in a delightful production aimed at children under seven.
Common Tongue
★★★★☆ Pure dead brilliant
Intimate and multi-layered, Common Tongue is a robust – occasionally explosive – exploration of voice, identity and society’s disapproval of those who don’t speak “proper”.
Hercules the Bear
★★★☆☆ Gentle giant
Tenterhooks’ Hercules the Bear is an entertaining piece of physical theatre based on the extraordinary and true story of a bear and his human “parents” who lived with him in Sheriffmuir in the 1980s.
Wee Man
★★★★☆ Powerful
Exploring themes of masculinity and mentorship, Wee Man from Barrowland Ballet at the Studio Theatre for two performances only, is an engaging show which uses movement to provoke a debate around behavioural expectations for young men.
In Other Words
★★★★☆ Painfully vital
A compelling look into the life and struggles of a couple dealing with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, TBC Productions’ In Other Words pairs painful truth with the commitment of love and the power of music, in a play that strikes at the heart of humanity.
Nessie
★★★★☆ Myth-buster
Nessie is visiting the Studio Theatre this week in the world premiere of a new musical co-production from Festival Theatres and Pitlochry Festival Theatre, which challenges the myths and legends around Scotland’s best known mysterious creature.
Nessie
★★★★★ Wonderful
Æ Junior Review by Frida aged 7
Nessie is a musical about finding where you belong.
When Prophecy Fails
★★★★★ Purposeful
Adapted from a 1954 American study into the social psychology and cognitive dissonance of a UFO religion called the Seekers, When Prophecy Fails is an exploration of the community and humanity behind what could easily be perceived as cult.
