Necessary Cat’s shrewish double bill
The Taming of the Shrew
The Tamer Tamed or The Woman’s Prize
This year’s double bill from Necessary Cat resurrects a 400 year old conversation between two early modern comedies
Sire & Madge
★★★☆☆ Sweetly absurd
Sire & Madge, written and directed by Elle Catherine Willcocks for Kittymilk at Supercube George Street as part of the Free Fringe, takes a true story and spins it into something decidedly odd but lovable.
Mohan: A Partition Story
★★★★★ Relevant
The seeming simplicity of Mohan: A Partition Story, Above at Pleasance Courtyard, belies the depth, intelligence and sheer skill that work this good requires.
The Skarsgård Effect
★★★☆☆ Daft
The Skarsgård Effect, from Ellen Eklund at theSpace @ Niddry Street for six performances only, is unashamedly silly and often unfocused, but appealing nevertheless.
Sunshine on Leith
★★★★☆ Well-rounded
Playing in the impressive Music Hall at Assembly Rooms throughout the Fringe, Sunshine on Leith by Captivate Theatre is a well-polished display of local talent.
Avenue Q
★★★★☆ Storming
Avenue Q at Braw Venue @ Grand Lodge for the whole Fringe is a piece that crackles with the energy of people who believe in what they are doing and are loving doing it.
Will Pickvance: Piano Diaries
★★★★☆ Enticing
Piano Diaries, from Will Pickvance at the Pianodrome, is a genuinely lovely entertainment from the raconteur and musician.
The Truth About Trees
★★★★☆ Charming
Apropos Theatre returns to Assembly George Square with a reworking of The Truth About Trees, their delightful play with a positive message.
Little Shop of Horrors
★★★★☆ High-energy
Sound Events Scotland presents Little Shop of Horrors, a horror-comedy musical chronicling the bloody series of events that occur after a hapless florist discovers a bizarre plant, who soon reveals its taste for human blood.
Operation Blank
★★★★☆ Existentially funny
When the end comes, will you regret the amount of your brief time on Earth you spent on Teams calls? Operation Blank at thespace @ Surgeons’ Hall makes us laugh, so we don’t cry.
