★★★★☆ Impressive debut
Shall Roger Casement Hang? at Hill Street until Friday, is a convincing and intimate piece of theatre realised with great care.

Conspiracy
★★★★★ Bureaucratic nightmare
Conspiracy, a co-production between Edinburgh-based grassroots companies Strawmoddie and RFT, is a chilling and almost obscenely mundane account of the Wannsee Conference, held in a Berlin suburb in January 1942.
