Loose Ends
★★★☆☆ Melancholy anger
1TWO1 Productions and New Celts’ Loose Ends – at theSpace on the Mile for the Fringe’s first week only – is a spare and affecting display of vulnerability.
Macbeth: Sleep No More
★★★☆☆ Well Spoken
Reducing Shakespeare’s cast of forty-plus characters to a company of four female performers, Shadow Road Productions brings Macbeth: Sleep No More back to the Fringe in an adaptation that encapsulates the essence of the Scottish Play.
Julius Caesar Must Die
★★★★☆ Committed
Myths Unbound and New Celts charge through Julius Caesar Must Die at theSpace on the Mile with fire and real purpose.
Constellations
★★★☆☆ Needs more variety
There is a clever idea behind Constellations from ZOE and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile. Unfortunately, it is that very idea that prevents it from working as well as it might as a piece of theatre in this production.
Prick
★★★☆☆ Historic relevance
Light the Match and New Celts’ Prick at theSpace on the Mile is a production of considerable impact.
Happier Daze
★★★☆☆ Deeply felt
Happier Daze, from RIFF Theatre and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile, is an uneven production, with some problems in its staging but a great deal of heart.
Kingdom
★★★☆☆ Cheerful
Lunar Theatre Company and New Celts’ Kingdom at theSpace on the Mile has a vitality and sense of fun that wins out over a portrait over a future Scotland that does not always come off.
The Rejects
★★★★☆ Intelligently comic
There is huge promise in both the writing and the performing of The Rejects, from Shark Bait Theatre and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile.
Things To Do in Mull
★★★☆☆ Humorous
Things To Do In Mull from Agree to Disagree Theatre and New Celts, at theSpace on the Mile, makes up for in charm for what it lacks in depth.
Graveyard Of The Outcast Dead
★★★★☆ Engaging
The relationships between past and present, and how even the unremembered are never truly forgotten, are explored intelligently, emotionally and tunefully in Graveyard Of The Outcast Dead by Kira Mason.
