Bedlam
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
★★★☆☆ Seen in preview:
Tense, Byzantine and thoroughly hilarious the EUTC’s production of Tom Stoppard’s breakthrough play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, at the Bedlam to Saturday, is a properly entertaining affair.
The Diary of Anne Frank
★★★★☆ All too real:
Well performed, well directed and extremely affecting, EUTC’s Diary of Anne Frank at the Bedlam is a thoroughly timely production.
Coriolanus
★★★★☆ Timely:
EUTC’s production of Coriolanus at the Bedlam is a pertinent and particularly well staged production.
Frost/Nixon
★★★☆☆ Intelligent:
Clever and ambitious, EUTC’s Frost/Nixon at the Bedlam is uneven in execution. Peter Morgan’s play – later a successful film – features a series of celebrated TV interviews between David Frost and disgraced US president Richard Nixon
Endgame
★★☆☆☆ Undercooked:
Underpowered and oddly hesitant, EUTC’s production of Endgame has flashes of inspiration but fails to convince.
Angels in America: Millennium Approaches
★★★★☆ Intense:
Emotional honesty and genuine skill make Angels in America: Millennium Approaches at the Bedlam extremely successful.
The Pillowman
★★★☆☆ Ambitious:
Spirited and clever, EUTC’s production of Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman has all the requisite cartoon violence, but in the end lacks the necessary punch.
The Crucible
★★★☆☆ Intimate:
The passion and brutality at the heart of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible are brought out in an intense production at the Bedlam which strives just a bit too hard for authenticity.
Cagebirds
★★★★☆ Unsettling introspection:
Edinburgh University Theatre Company find a birds eye view straight into the heart of captivity in Cagebirds: a quirky, thoughtful little play that positively flies by, or not as the case may be.
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
★★★☆☆ Well performed:
There is much to admire in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at the Bedlam. Accomplished performances of challenging roles and well thought-out direction make for a successful production.
