EdFringe 2017
Ladies’ Day
★★★★☆ Good each-way bet
Saughtonhall Drama Club’s Ladies’ Day has warm humour, the odd spiky line and a finely put together production.
The Amorous Ambassador
★★★☆☆ A good stab:
Peppered with comic potential, Leitheatre’s production of The Amorous Ambassador clearly has a talented team behind it at the Inverleith St Serf’s Church Centre for the first fortnight of the fringe.
You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown
★★★☆☆ The very definition of Bless
Good Grief, Peanuts comes to life at theSpace on Niddry St in a fun production of Clark Gesner’s sixties musical, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, that could be a little sharper.
Oliver!
★★★★☆ Marvellous:
Bringing Oliver! back to the Fringe at the Rose Theatre, Captivate Theatre brilliantly capture the drama and comedy of the classic musical.
Annie
★★★★☆ Spirited & Heartwarming:
Captivate Theatre’s excellent production of Annie – on until August 14 at the Rose Theatre – brings a lively and contagious enthusiasm to the Fringe.
Assessment
★★★☆☆ Chillingly relevant:
Assessment is a chilling exploration of the future of pensions in a time of austerity, from Shows on a Shoestring at the Rose Theatre for the full fringe.
Wedding Fever
★★★★☆ Cavalcade of laughs:
Huge fun and some genuinely good comic acting are to be found in Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s Wedding Fever.
Home
★★★★☆ Truthful:
Home, by Raised Voices at the Space on North Bridge, is a genuine, moving and vital piece of theatre.
The Last Queen of Scotland
★★★☆☆ Urgent:
There is undeniable promise in The Last Queen of Scotland. It is told in a voice largely absent from the stage, and presents a story which seems to have been largely forgotten, but remains desperately contemporary in so many ways.
beauty
★★★★☆ Thought-provoking:
The disturbing consequences of our obsession with fame and celebrity are explored in beauty, Claire Wood’s new play for the Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group.
