EdFringe 2015
Skins and Hoods
✭✭✭✩✩ Intense
Young critics scheme review:
There is an interesting perspective on discrimination and identity in Skins and Hoods at the French Institute.
Nell Gwyn: An Epilogue
✭✭✩✩✩ Insufficiently fruity:
Lacking nothing in energy, Nell Gwyn: An Epilogue is nevertheless lacking in focus and fails to convince as a result.
Comfort Slaves
✭✭✭✩✩ Unsettling:
Not for the fainthearted, Comfort Slaves performed by Immersive Acting Movement deals with horrible issues that have become part of our society.
Swallow
✭✭✭✭✩ Human:
There is a strongly beating human heart behind the Traverse Theatre Company’s Swallow. The cleverly staged production from a largely female team has a spiky exterior hiding a warm and resonant core.
Hairy Maclary’s Cat Tales – Junior Review
✭✭✭✭✭ Really good
Junior Review by Cora Dibdin
Everyone thought that Hairy Maclary was funny and nearly everyone joined in.
Eejits and Hissy Fits – junior review
✭✭✭✭✩
Junior Review by Cora Dibdin
One woman, a small room, three stories.
Heartlands
✭✭✭✭✩ Heartwarming:
In a multi-layered and engaging performance, Urban Fox Theatre Company deliver a wonderfully warm and intimate insight into modern life and modern relationships.
Children’s shows
At All Edinburgh Theatre, we are covering as many shows made in Edinburgh being staged during the fringe as we can.
Here is our alphabetical listing of the children’s shows which are made by companies resident in the city (or close by!).
Barnum
✭✭✭✭✩ That’s showbusiness:
Featuring a huge variety of talents and radiating the joy of putting on a show, Forth Children’s Theatre’s Barnum at Inverleith Church Hall may not quite be the Greatest Show on Earth but is surely worth a dime of anyone’s money. Or a great deal more than a dime, if it comes to that.
Dead Letter Office
✭✭✭✩✩ Philosophical potential:
Some Company Productions deliver a thoughtful performance with a lot of potential, but struggle to reconcile the show with its philosophical depth.
