Swallow
✭✭✭✭✩ Human:
There is a strongly beating human heart behind the Traverse Theatre Company’s Swallow. The cleverly staged production from a largely female team has a spiky exterior hiding a warm and resonant core.
Hairy Maclary’s Cat Tales – Junior Review
✭✭✭✭✭ Really good
Junior Review by Cora Dibdin
Everyone thought that Hairy Maclary was funny and nearly everyone joined in.
Eejits and Hissy Fits – junior review
✭✭✭✭✩
Junior Review by Cora Dibdin
One woman, a small room, three stories.
Heartlands
✭✭✭✭✩ Heartwarming:
In a multi-layered and engaging performance, Urban Fox Theatre Company deliver a wonderfully warm and intimate insight into modern life and modern relationships.
Barnum
✭✭✭✭✩ That’s showbusiness:
Featuring a huge variety of talents and radiating the joy of putting on a show, Forth Children’s Theatre’s Barnum at Inverleith Church Hall may not quite be the Greatest Show on Earth but is surely worth a dime of anyone’s money. Or a great deal more than a dime, if it comes to that.
Dead Letter Office
✭✭✭✩✩ Philosophical potential:
Some Company Productions deliver a thoughtful performance with a lot of potential, but struggle to reconcile the show with its philosophical depth.
Crash
★★★☆☆ A desperate poetry:
Dark, troubling and involving, the Traverse Theatre Company’s Crash may not succeed on every level but certainly benefits from a mighty performance by Jamie Michie.
The Bookbinder
✭✭✭✭✭ Beautiful craftsmanship:
A book is a beautiful thing, a story is a work of art, a fairytale is a thing of dreams. The Bookbinder is all of these – it’s a beautiful, articulate and inventive show that is as engaging as it is mysterious.
Jane Austen’s Persuasion
✭✭✭✩✩ Resilient:
The resilience of the Chamber Opera of Chicago is never in doubt as the company stick at their operetta adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion to the end, working hard to bring in at just under three hours.
