Review – Showcase: Musical Diversity
★★★★☆: Bold choices, big voices:
There’s no disputing the title of Showcase’s latest adventure into the world of pop, rock, musicals and music from films and TV. Musically, diversity runs right through it.
Review – Sanctuary
David McFarlane’s Sanctuary is a low-key, subtle meditation on the break-up of a relationship which manages to carry some real emotional weight in the cramped confines of the Chapel at St John’s Church.
Review – Singing’ I’m No A Billy, He’s a Tim

Review – Sanctuary
Leith, like June, has been busting out all over this week. Amid the full programme of Leith Festival comes Sanctuary, a new work by grassroots company, Black Dingo Productions.
Review – Heroes
★★★☆☆ Musical heroics:
There is an audacious opening to Showcase’s latest musical offering up at the Church Hill Theatre all this week. Heroes might be the show’s title and theme, but instead of extracts from the evening, the overture uses a certain Stranglers number to gets the audience bobbing in their seats.
