Curtains
★★★★☆ Swishingly good
The Edinburgh University Savoy Operatic Group make a great showing with their production of Kander and Ebb’s musical comedy whodunnit, Curtains, in Paradise at Augustines for the first week of the Fringe.
Number, Please
★★★★☆ Pleasingly farcical:
Number, Please by Paprichoo at Paradise in Augustines leaves no stone unturned in its pursuit of comedy.
Jerusalem
★★★★☆ Furious energy:
The EUTC’s production of Jez Butterworth’s celebrated Jerusalem at the Bedlam has so much drive and chutzpah that it is an undoubted success.
Pomona
★★★☆☆ Mixed bag:
Flirting with darkness, Theatre Paradok’s Pomona – at Summerhall until Saturday – is well performed, but ultimately more staid than it first appears.
