What You See When Your Eyes Are Closed/What You Don’t See When Your Eyes Are Open
★★★★☆ Intriguing
What You See When Your Eyes Are Closed/What You Don’t See When Your Eyes Are Open at Summerhall is thought-provoking, surprisingly touching and visually intriguing.
Salomé
★★★★☆ Uneven but compelling
Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s presentation of Oscar Wilde’s Salomé is wilfully uneven, not always carefully judged, yet ultimately extremely impressive.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
★★★★★ Rings out
Captivate Theatre step out of their usual comfort zone of large-cast sure-fire banger hits with this production of lesser performed musical The Hunchback of Notre Dame and find themselves with, well, a sure-fire banger hit.
School of Rock
★★★★☆ Dynamic
Fringe favourites Captivate Theatre bring the musical School of Rock to the Magnusson Theatre at the Edinburgh Academy, featuring a cast of talented local children.
The Rotting Hart
★★★★☆ Accomplished
Writer and performer Daniel Orejon’s solo show, The Rotting Hart at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, is a timeless, queer horror story set in rural Spain, where the unnamed protagonist lives alone with his father.
Hersterectomy
★★★☆☆ Promising
Edinburgh based theatre collective The Counterminers explore female reproductive rights in Hersterectomy, their new devised piece, performing somewhat appropriately in a venue that is reminiscent of a womb.
CeilidhKids at the Fringe
★★★★★ Perfection
CeilidhKids return to the Counting House with their popular family dances, aimed at providing the youngest audiences with a taster of traditional Scottish dance.
