Tennessee Williams
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
★★★☆☆ Solid:
Leitheatre give a meaty and satisfyingly verbal account of Tennessee Williams’ great drama, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, at the Studio of the Festival Theatre, running through to Saturday.
A Streetcar Named Desire
★★☆☆☆ Underwhelming:
Worthy but earthbound, Rapture Theatre’s touring production of A Streetcar Named Desire at the King’s never really convinces.
The Glass Menagerie
✭✭✭✭✩ Sultry:
There is a taut emotional quality to Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Menagerie at the King’s theatre for a two week season as part of the Edinburgh International Festival.
SCDA One Acts
★★★★☆ Varied:
By turns surreal, impeccably directed and heartbreaking, the first three finalists of the SCDA’s One-Act Festival finals ensured that the opening night lived up to its billing.
Double Bill
“✭✭✭✭✩ Character-driven”
Young critics scheme review:
Theatre Alba present a double bill at Duddingston Kirk Manse of Chekhov’s Smoking is Bad for You and Tennessee Williams’ Something Unspoken.
A Streetcar Named Desire
★★★★★ Perfect balance:
It is with elegant sophistication that A Streetcar Named Desire sweeps onto the stage at the Festival Theatre this week.
