Tracy Letts
Bug
★★★★☆ Twisted romance
Set in a motel room somewhere in America, Bug begins like a twisted tale of romance but ends as a case study of how conspiracy, paranoia and wild theories can escalate into all-encompassing self-destructive philosophies.
August: Osage County
★★★☆☆ Brave attempt
Some excellent performances and high production values give The Grads’ production of August: Osage County interest and a degree of merit, but overall it can only be seen as a qualified success.
Edinburgh Am Dram Rising
Fans of Edinburgh’s amateur theatre and musical scene are having a thrillingly diverse week of it, with three productions opening tonight and tomorrow: August: Osage County, Me and My Girl, and Takin’ Over the Asylum.
