theSpace @ Surgeons’ Hall
Shallowspace Cryotech Feverdream
★★★★☆ Haunting and tragic
Shallowspace Cryotech Feverdream, from Queer Edinburgh-based company Elastic Fantastic at theSpace @ Surgeons’ Hall for the final week of the Fringe, is a haunting one-person sci-fi tale which plays with body horror and fascinating visuals to explore bodily autonomy.
Unravel
★★★☆☆ Dense
Mon Espoir’s new play Unravel, playing theSpace @ Surgeons’ Hall for the final two weeks of the Fringe, is a work with philosophical density and formal surprises. Unfortunately, its perspectives on the subjects tackled are not offered to the audience with clarity.
Tim Kenneth Kicks The Bucket
★★★★★ Impeccable new writing
Tim Kenneth Kicks The Bucket is an impeccably written, directed and performed production from Kestrel Eye Productions, playing theSpace @ Surgeons’ Hall for Week Two of the Fringe only.
Dan Bastianelli: Identity
★★★☆☆ Charming
Edinburgh-based magician Dan Bastianelli is no stranger to the Fringe. Following sold-out shows in 2023 and 2024, he returns with Identity at The Space @ Surgeon’s Hall, questioning why he does magic in the first place.
The Spilling Cup
★★★★☆ Bloody lovely
“Hey, little uterus, can we work together?” Sasha’s plea to her capricious organ in Dracume Theatre’s The Spilling Cup will be a familiar sentiment to anyone who’s ever dealt with having one, and especially to those who, like her, are plagued by undiagnosed medical issues of the reproductive system.
Babe Alien
★★★☆☆ Weirdly fascinating
Mon Espoir’s Babe Alien is a weirdly fascinating story in which an innocent outsider living in Las Vegas, but apparently from another world, takes a critical look at American culture and behaviour.
Malvolio’s Fantasy
★★★☆☆ Tentative
Zuzabella Productions’ Malvolio’s Fantasy at theSpace @ Surgeons Hall is an adaptation of Shakespeare that is at its best when it is furthest from its source.
Brothers
★★★★☆ Heartfelt
Raised Voices’ Brothers, at theSpace @ Surgeons Hall for the last two weeks of the Fringe, has a praiseworthy emotional clarity.
Godfather Death: A Grimms’ Musical
★★★★★ Inspiring
Godfather Death: A Grimms’ Musical by The Avison Brothers at The Space @ Surgeons Hall for the first two weeks of the Fringe is an inspiring adaptation of a little known fairytale by the Brothers Grimm.
Why Am I (Still) Like This?
★★★☆☆ Thinking aloud
Nicole Nadler returns to the Fringe with Why Am I (Still) Like This? produced by High Heels and Heavy Suitcases, at theSpace@Surgeons Hall, in which she asks some key questions about her ADHD diagnosis.
