Bedlam
Metamorphoses
★★★★☆ Sweeping
Metamorphoses from the EUTC at the Bedlam is a journey through classical myth that is unfocused and wilfully uneven, but is frequently compelling, has energy to spare, and boasts some remarkably fine performances.
The Seagull
★★★☆☆ Well crafted
The Seagull, from EUTC at the Bedlam until Sunday, is a fastidious, even reverential production that largely succeeds but does sometimes struggle to find its own identity.
The History Boys
★★★★☆ Intelligent
Energy, fine acting and a great deal of thought characterise The History Boys at the Bedlam, where it runs through to Saturday.
Ulster American
★★★★☆ Spirited
Ulster American, from EUTC at the Bedlam for two performances only, is an intelligently staged production of an explosive piece.
Accidental Death of an Anarchist
★★★☆☆ Relevant
Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s production of Accidental Death of an Anarchist, is a farcical comedy exploring how police violence and abuse is just as prevalent in the UK today as it was in 1970s Italy, when the original play was written.
Immaculate
★★★☆☆ Entertaining
Immaculate, by the EUTC at the Bedlam until Friday, is a spirited attempt at a play that never quite lives up to an intriguing premise.
Little Women
★★★☆☆ Ambitious
The EUTC’s Little Women, at the Bedlam until Saturday, is a carefully staged production featuring stand-out performances in the four title roles.
Antigone
★★★★☆ Powerful
Antigone, from the EUTC at the Bedlam until Saturday, makes a 2500 year-old play as relevant as ever in a production of considered intelligence and fine acting.
Endgame
★★★★☆ Beautifully judged
The EUTC’s production of Endgame, at the Bedlam for three nights, is an exemplary production on almost every level. The direction and all of the performances are very fine indeed.
Breaking Point
★★★☆☆ Ambitious
Breaking Point from new company Heid First Theatre at the Bedlam, is an ambitious project tackling big themes of misogyny, online forums, and young men’s mental health.
