EdFringe 2015
Crash
★★★☆☆ A desperate poetry:
Dark, troubling and involving, the Traverse Theatre Company’s Crash may not succeed on every level but certainly benefits from a mighty performance by Jamie Michie.
EIF, Fringe Open
Lothian Road blocked for EIF opener:
Almost 20,000 people witnessed the opening event of this year’s Edinburgh International Festival when The Harmonium Project lit up the outside of the Usher Hall.
The Bookbinder
✭✭✭✭✭ Beautiful craftsmanship:
A book is a beautiful thing, a story is a work of art, a fairytale is a thing of dreams. The Bookbinder is all of these – it’s a beautiful, articulate and inventive show that is as engaging as it is mysterious.
Jane Austen’s Persuasion
✭✭✭✩✩ Resilient:
The resilience of the Chamber Opera of Chicago is never in doubt as the company stick at their operetta adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion to the end, working hard to bring in at just under three hours.
Baba Yaga – junior review
✭✭✭✭✩ Exciting
Junior Review by Cora Dibdin
Baba Yaga at Duddingston Kirk gardens was magical for everyone.
Baba Yaga (And The Girl With The Kind Heart)
✭✭✭✭✩ Spine tingling:
Magnificently malevolent when it needs to be, Theatre Alba’s take on the great Russian folk tale Baba Yaga thrills and frightens in equal measure as it promenades round Dr Neil’s Garden in Duddingston.
