Reviews
The Silence of the Lambs
★★★☆☆ Solid
The Silence of the Lambs at the Festival Theatre is a touring thriller that goes over familiar ground in a way that is gripping but not always entirely convincing.
High Society
★★★☆☆ Slow burner
High Society, the Cole Porter jukebox musical based on the Philadelphia Story, flew into the Edinburgh Playhouse on Tuesday night with almost everything swellegant and elegant, even though its two big stars were not on board.
A History of Paper
★★★★★ Devastating
A History of Paper at Pitlochry Festival Theatre has a difficult job in following so soon after the outstanding original 2024 production of Oliver Emanuel and Gareth Williams’s musical, but does so admirably.
Pip Utton’s Farewell to the Fringe
Bacon: ★★★★☆ Raw
Hunchback of Notre Dame: ★★★★☆ Visceral
And Before I Forget I Love You, I Love You : ★★★★★ Extraordinary
After thirty-four years, Pip Utton bids farewell to Edinburgh Fringe with a one-man repertory of three plays: Bacon, Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Before I Forget I Love You, I Love You.
Spring Awakening
★★★★☆ Bittersweet
Kingston Grammar School Theatre Company presents the folk-rock cult hit musical Spring Awakening at Surgeons’ Hall, following a group of teenagers as they discover their emerging sexualities in 19th-century Germany.
Tether 인연
★★★☆☆ Melodic
Tether 인연 from Wonder Fools at Summerhall for the whole Fringe is a cross-cultural experience that has heart and melody in abundance.
Tweedy’s Massive Solo Show
★★★★☆ Delightful
Tweedy’s Massive Solo Show at the Udderbelly for the full run of the Fringe is wonderful entertainment for all ages.
Mohan: A Partition Story
★★★★☆ Necessary
Mohan: A Partition Story, from Niall Moorjani in association with Jasmine Cole Productions at the Pleasance for the last two weeks of Fringe, is an important tale beautifully told.
Shakespeare For Breakfast
★★★★☆ Four Humorous
C Theatre’s Shakespeare For Breakfast which returns to C Aurora for the whole Fringe, is a comedic play (with added breakfast) that pushes Shakespeare to newer audiences.
Techies
★★☆☆☆ Diffuse
Techies from Yonder Window at Hill St is a promising new musical that has come over wholesale from New York but seems to have lost something on the way.
