Dancing at Lughnasa

★★★☆☆     Affecting

Even as other companies gear up for Christmas, Leitheatre look back to September with Brian Friel’s Dancing at Lughnasa at the Church Hill. This entirely unseasonal downbeat piece is discharged with great care and some impressive acting.

Stepping Out

★★★☆☆ Feel good

Leitheatre has been performing on the Fringe for 40 years and this year’s show, Stepping Out at Inverleith St Serf’s Church Centre, is of an appropriate vintage, although its plot is in no way dated.
