Bedlam
Equus
★★★★☆ Darkly iconic:
Stark yet fully rounded, the EUTC’s production of Equus, at the Bedlam to Saturday, gets right to the nub of Peter Shaefer’s script and delivers four square on the drama.
Journey’s End
✭✭✭✩✩ Travelling light:
Cruel and deceptively simple, R.C. Sherriff’s play set in the trenches of WW1 remains one of the great descriptions of what happens to humanity when it goes to war.
Arcadia – Review
✭✭✭✩✩ Thoroughly enthralling
Big, wordy and endlessly fascinating, Tom Stoppard’s modern classic Arcadia is given an entertaining revival at the Bedlam theatre for a four night run.
Yellow Moon – Review
✭✭✭✭✩ Thunderstruck
The EUTC give a thunderous showing of David Greig’s Yellow Moon at the Bedlam, with a production that flows seamlessly through Greig’s dark, poetic, script.
Review – Love and Friendship
✭✭✭✩✩ Delicious trifle
Brimming with overplayed emotions and inappropriate attitudes, Laura Witz’ adaptation of Jane Austen’s early epistolary novel – Love and Freindship – is an utter treat.
Review – Scooby Panto and the Night of the Nutcracker! In 2D!
✭✭✭✩✩ Brazenly hazy:
Gosh, golly and crypes, Santa Claus has been kidnapped and not only have his dastardly kidnappers killed Scrappy Doo, but they have cancelled Christmas too!
Review – Beyond Therapy
✭✭✭✩✩ Flawed but endearing
Sweet but somewhat inconsistent, Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s production of Beyond Therapy is at the Bedlam all week.
Review – Khamosh Pani (Silent Waters)
✭✭✭✩✩ Slow burner
Strong and intelligent, but sometimes frustrating, the EUTC’s world premier adaptation of the Pakistani film Silent Water at the Bedlam theatre is thought-provoking eye-opener.
Review – The Fantasticks
✭✭✭✩✩ Sweetly cynical
Sweetly cynical and taking all the right steps, the Edinburgh University Theatre Club production of world-record holding musical The Fantasticks plays at the Bedlam Theatre to Saturday.
Secrets
✭✭✭✭✩ Honest and revelatory:
Darkly obscure right up to its thought-provoking finale, the latest edition of A Play, A Pie and A Pint lands at the Bedlam Theatre in a co-production with the National Theatre of Scotland and the Confucius Institute.
