A Play A Pie and A Pint
PPP: Bottom’s Dream
★★★★☆ Smart
The last in this season of Òran Mór’s A Play, A Pie and A Pint at the Traverse, is a good one to go out on. Bottom’s Dream, written and performed by Martin O’Connor, is clever and constantly amusing, making necessary and cogent points about the theatre.
PPP: Contact
★★★☆☆ Spiky
Emotional realism and excellent performances distinguish Contact by Jonny Donohoe, the family tragicomedy that is the latest Play, A Pie and A Pint at the Traverse.
PPP: Whaur’s Yer Wullie Shakespeare Noo?
★★☆☆☆ Unsubtle
Whaur’s Yer Wullie Shakespeare Noo?, the latest Play, A Pie and A Pint offerings from Òran Mór’ at the Traverse, has plenty of pace and spirit, but ultimately is an unsatisfactory affair.
Wallace
★★★★☆ Still fresh
The expanded version of Rob Drummond and Dave Hook’s musical Wallace, at the King’s until Saturday, remains an intriguing and powerful piece of theatre despite some drawbacks.
PPP: The Hen Night
★★★★☆ Excellent ensemble
The Hen Night by Debbie Hannan, the last in the current season of A Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at Assembly Roxy, is a wonderfully performed piece that is great fun as well as deceptively serious.
PPP: The Corinthian
★★★★☆ Necessary
The Corinthian by Joe McCann, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at Assembly Roxy, is an engrossing, splendidly performed and utterly timely piece of theatre.
PPP: Funeral For My Boobs
★★★☆☆ Lively
Funeral For My Boobs by Hannah Howie, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint from Òran Mór at Assembly Roxy, is a touching autobiographical tale presented as an all-singing, all-dancing spectacular.
PPP: Off The Rails
★★★★☆ Hugely promising
Off The Rails is an auspicious start for the first season at the Assembly Roxy of Òran Mór’s legendary A Play, a Pie and a Pint. The extremely impressive mini-musical is the professional writing debut of Stephanie MacGaraidh, who has also written the songs and is the play’s sole performer.
Comedy Double Bill
★★★★☆ Entertaining
Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ Comedy Double Bill is a thoroughly enjoyable evening, with one half being diverting and the other half outstanding.
PPP: Miss Lockwood Isn’t Well
★★★☆☆ Patchy
Miss Lockwood Isn’t Well by James Reilly, the last of the Spring season of Òran Mór’s Play, A Pie and A Pint productions at the Traverse, is an intriguing comedy that contains some moments which misfire.
