Bedlam
Ada
✭✭✭✭✩ Educational and enchanting:
The student run Edinburgh University Theatre Company deliver an intriguing insight into the life of Ada Lovelace, but it might just be a little too clever for its own good.
Equus
★★★★☆ Darkly iconic:
Stark yet fully rounded, the EUTC’s production of Equus, at the Bedlam to Saturday, gets right to the nub of Peter Shaefer’s script and delivers four square on the drama.
Ada for Bedlam fringe
Open auditions for EUTC fringe show:
Student amateurs Edinburgh University Theatre Company have announced that open auditions will be held for this year’s fringe production, Ada.
Journey’s End
✭✭✭✩✩ Travelling light:
Cruel and deceptively simple, R.C. Sherriff’s play set in the trenches of WW1 remains one of the great descriptions of what happens to humanity when it goes to war.
The Duck Pond
✭✭✭✭✭ A quacking show
An enchanting fairground ride, The Duck Pond, is a cheeky, zesty little number that will delight and surprise.
The Lift
✭✭✩✩✩ Not uplifting
Some clever staging and energetic performances are not enough to mask fundamental drawbacks in conception and script in Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s The Lift.
Yellow Moon – Review
✭✭✭✭✩ Thunderstruck
The EUTC give a thunderous showing of David Greig’s Yellow Moon at the Bedlam, with a production that flows seamlessly through Greig’s dark, poetic, script.
Bedlam Festival returns

Review – Scooby Panto and the Night of the Nutcracker! In 2D!
✭✭✭✩✩ Brazenly hazy:
Gosh, golly and crypes, Santa Claus has been kidnapped and not only have his dastardly kidnappers killed Scrappy Doo, but they have cancelled Christmas too!
Review – Beyond Therapy
✭✭✭✩✩ Flawed but endearing
Sweet but somewhat inconsistent, Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s production of Beyond Therapy is at the Bedlam all week.
