King’s
The Mousetrap
★★★★☆ Blindingly Good Mice:
Agatha Christie’s legendary murder mystery, The Mousetrap, finds a stately – if temporary – home at the King’s Theatre this week.
Democracy
★★☆☆☆ Static:
Much in Rapture’s touring production of Democracy at the King’s could speak to audiences in 2016 Scotland. However, it is buried in a slow, seemingly interminable production.
TEN
★★★★☆ Pert and pertinent:
Bold, bright and unashamedly bouncy, the MGA Academy’s tenth anniversary show at the King’s this week is also a surprisingly pertinent piece of entertainment.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
★★★★☆ Smooth sophistication:
There is charm and sparkle on the stage at the Kings Theatre until Saturday, and that’s not just from the costume jewellery.
James and the Giant Peach – junior review
★★★★☆ Hilarious
James and the Giant Peach is a book by Roald Dahl. A boy goes on an adventure with giant insects and a humungous peach.
Avenue Q
★★★★☆ Acerbic:
Packed with proper grownup moments and thoroughly entertaining with it, the Sell A Door production of Avenue Q steams back into the King’s with its cynicism buttons set to stun.
Of Mice and Men
★★★☆☆ Faithful:
Clearly told and doggedly true to its source, Of Mice and Men at the King’s is a solidly effective production that never quite sparks into life.
The 39 Steps
★★★★☆ Terrific fun:
Extremely silly, and completely aware of its silliness, The 39 Steps at the King’s is very funny indeed.
Jackie the Musical
★★★★☆ Sensational:
Pacy and clever, Jackie the Musical at the King’s all week is bags of fun to watch as it brings the celebrated teen magazine to the stage.
Canned Laughter
★★★★☆ Canny:
Pathos and superbly performed comedy combine in Canned Laughter at the King’s all week until Saturday.
