Lyceum
Cinderella: A Fairytale
★★★★☆ Magical
Cinderella: A Fairytale, this year’s Lyceum Christmas play, is a sparkling, visually wonderful and consistently entertaining piece of family entertainment.
The Glass Menagerie
★★★★☆ Reflective
There is intelligence, theatrical knowhow and surprising humour in The Glass Menagerie, at the Lyceum for one week only. The Dundee Rep production (in association with the Citizens and the Lyceum) is utterly convincing and wonderfully acted.
The Seagull
★★★★☆ Impressive
The Seagull, at the Lyceum until 1 November, is the first production under the new regime of James Brining, and is an undoubted success.
Black Is The Color Of My Voice
★★★★☆ Towering
Black Is The Color Of My Voice, at the Lyceum for four performances ahead of a UK tour, boasts an outstanding performance by Apphia Campbell.
Faustus in Africa! (EIF)
★★☆☆☆ Lacking clarity
Faustus in Africa! may have been a ground-breaking production thirty years ago, but it is not entirely clear why it has been revived now, at the International Festival for four performances at the Lyceum.
Works and Days
★★★★☆ Evocative
Works and Days, part of the International Festival at the Lyceum for four performances only, is an arresting depiction of human history.
The Mountaintop
★★★★☆ Vital
The Lyceum’s production of The Mountaintop is an enthralling, beautifully performed examination of history and humanity.
KELI
★★★★☆ Affecting
First seen in preview at the Lyceum, and having gone through several different incarnations, Martin Green’s play KELI is finally a full-length stage drama
Wild Rose
★★★★★ Triumphant
New musical Wild Rose is the last show of David Greig’s eight years as Artistic Director of the Lyceum and it is an absolute triumph.
The Merchant of Venice
★★★★★ Unflinching
Completing the inaugural outing of The Shakespeare Exchange, a partnership of the Lyceum with New York City-based Theatre for a New Audience, TFANA brings Arin Arbus’s unflinching production of The Merchant of Venice to Edinburgh.
