David McCallum
Singing Willows and the Magical Bed
★★★☆☆ Beautiful
Singing Willows and the Magical Bed from Alexandra Borghino at the Storytelling Centre on the last two weekends of the Fringe, is an attractive production for children that has the potential to be even more enticing.
Cluedo
★★★★☆ Farcical
Cluedo, from Edinburgh Theatre Arts at St Ninian’s for the first two weeks of the Fringe, is a lively parody of the murder mystery genre, performed with pace and panache.
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.
A Woman of No Importance
★★★★☆ Assured
Edinburgh Theatre Arts provide a very well judged production of Oscar Wilde’s A Woman of No Importance at St Ninian’s throughout the first fortnight of the Fringe.
Go Back for Murder
★★★★☆ Convincing
Go Back for Murder, Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ first stab at Agatha Christie, is a well considered and very well performed affair. If it drags a little at times, it always convinces nonetheless.
The Misanthrope
★★★★☆ Well judged
Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of The Misanthrope at St Ninian’s Church Hall is a clever and thoroughly enjoyable piece of theatre.
Meteor Shower
★★★☆☆ Strong performances
Nothing is quite what it appears to be, in Steve Martin’s fractured marital comedy, Meteor Shower, being staged at St Ninian’s Hall by Edinburgh Theatre Arts until Saturday.
Nell Gwynn
★★★★☆ Cheerful
Nell Gwynn, presented by Edinburgh Theatre Arts at St Ninian’s, is a hugely enjoyable romp, presented by an enviably well-drilled cast.
Fondly Remembered
★★★★☆ Involving:
Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ Fondly Remembered, at St Ninian’s until Saturday, is a production of considerable charm and emotional truth.
The Front Page
★★★★☆ Extreme energy:
There is more nervous energy in Edinburg Theatre Arts’ The Front Page at St Ninian’s Hall than in five average Fringe productions, and the result is very pleasing.
