Traverse
Badgers
★★★☆☆ Complicated
Badgers at the Traverse is a carefully constructed piece whose use of different media does not always support a strong central core.
For Dolores
★★★★☆ Vibrant energy
For Dolores at the Traverse is a gloriously chaotic and at times horrifying slice of life, performed with suitable pizzazz.
Water Colour
★★★★☆ Impressive
Water Colour by Milly Sweeney at the Traverse is a remarkably cogent and compelling production.
Supposing:
★★★★☆ Cleverly layered
Supposing:, the new play from Zinnie Harris staged by the Traverse Theatre Company in Traverse 2, is a clever and timely play.
The Table
★★★★☆ Questioning
Set out for a short run at the Traverse, Lung Ha’s The Table is a curious hybrid of immersive theatre, dance, spoken word and imagery. A hybrid that draws you in and leaves you asking more.
In Time (EICF)
★★★★★ Gorgeous
In Time at the Edinburgh International Children’s Festival is an absolute gem of a show. This beautiful depiction of nature and humanity is aimed at audiences aged from three to seven.
Boys Don’t Dance (EICF)
★★★★☆ Joyous
Boys Don’t Dance, by disabled dance artist and choreographer Marc Brew, is a beautifully told tale of rural isolation about a boy who just wants to dance.
Baby Mash-up, what on Earth are you doing?
★★★★☆ Extraordinary
Sally Hobson’s extraordinary new play, Baby Mash-up, what on Earth are you doing? from stillpoint theatre company, slips onto the stage with a sly sense of otherworldliness for the first of two performances in Traverse One at the end of a short Scottish tour.
Stand & Deliver: The Lee Jeans Sit-In
★★★★☆ Delivers
The National Theatre of Scotland and the Tron Theatre’s touring production Stand & Deliver: The Lee Jeans Sit-in at the Traverse is both entertaining and affecting. The politically charged gig-musical is a thoroughly enjoyable, utterly necessary reminder of recent history.
Jack Docherty in The Chief: No Apologies
★★★☆☆ Familiar
The Gilded Balloon’s touring Jack Docherty in The Chief: No Apologies at the Traverse is an enjoyable outing for a character with a considerable following. If the show ends up being a little formulaic, a huge performance makes up for it.
