EdFringe 2017
Smashing Shakespeare
★★★★☆ Slick:
Captivate Theatre has earned a reputation for energetic, witty performances. With Smashing Shakespeare, in the Rose Street Theatre until August 14, it lives up to that expectation.
Pippin
★★★★☆ Another Winner:
Gorgeous singing, bags of life – and a stunning array of costumes – make Forth Children’s Theatre’s Pippin, at the Edinburgh Tabernacle to Saturday, another thoroughly entertaining and accomplished production.
Eve
★★★★☆ Warmly fierce:
There is a deep humanity to Eve, at the Traverse, that makes it both challenging and reassuring, giving it an ultimate message of hope.

★★★★★ Trash Hit:
Local youngsters from the MGA Academy bring trailer-trash America to the heart of Edinburgh in this hilarious and entertaining production of The Great American Trailer Park Musical.
Five Kinds of Silence
★★★☆☆ Dark and twisted:

Brave Macbeth
★★★★☆ Brilliant children’s theatre:
Brave Macbeth from Captivate Theatre at Gilded Ballon venues is everything a children’s musical should be – and educational too.
