Alan Borthwick and David Lyle, the Long-time Artistic and Musical Directors of the Edinburgh Gilbert and Sullivan Society, have been awarded the British Empire Medal “for services to music” in the King’s Birthday Honours 2025.
Quadrophenia, A Mod Ballet
★★★★☆ Innovative dynamism
Quadrophenia, A Mod Ballet, at the Festival Theatre until Saturday, is no mere exercise in nostalgia, but a highly successful piece of dance.
Cutler tribute, McDermid play at BookFest 25
Hamish Hawk, Vanessa Redgrave at Edinburgh Futures Institute
The 2025 Edinburgh Book Festival – in its second year at Edinburgh Futures Institute – will feature the normal mix of theatre-adjacent events and other enticing attractions in its two week programme from Sat 9 to Sun 24 August.
Restless Natives: The Musical
★★★☆☆ Mixed bag
Restless Natives: The Musical, arriving at Leith Theatre, is decidedly mixed and often meandering. There is much to enjoy about a production that has considerable joy to it, but there are also long stretches that are far less convincing.
Lear
★★★★★ Magnificent
Lear by Ramesh Meyyappan at the Traverse is a stunning piece of work – raw and delicate, disciplined and chaotic, frightening and beautiful.
Dita teeses Edinburgh
Dita Von Teese sets Edinburgh date
Dita Von Teese is to bring her new Nocturnelle show to the Edinburgh Playhouse on Friday 13 Feb 2026 on the only Scottish date on an eight night tour of the UK.
The Mountaintop
★★★★☆ Vital
The Lyceum’s production of The Mountaintop is an enthralling, beautifully performed examination of history and humanity.
Scottish Opera Double Bill
Trial by Jury – ★★★★☆ Absurd
A Matter of Misconduct! – ★★★★☆ Shrewd
Scottish Opera and the D’Oyly Carte Opera celebrate the 150th anniversary Gilbert & Sullivan’s partnership by pairing Trial By Jury with A Matter of Misconduct!, a new operetta commissioned in response to it.
