EPT
The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society’s Production of Macbeth
★★★★☆ Cheery

Calendar Girls
★★★★☆ Poignant comedy
There is real emotional weight, as well as considerable comedy, to Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s production of Calendar Girls at the Church Hill.
The Ladykillers
★★★☆☆ Old school
The Ladykillers, by Edinburgh People’s Theatre (EPT) at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday, is endearing and capably executed.
Sinbad the Sailor
★★★★☆ Inviting
Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s annual pantomime is always one of the most keenly-awaited festive shows, and Sinbad the Sailor lives up to the anticipation.
The Sleeping Beauty
★★★★☆ Great entertainment
The Sleeping Beauty, from Edinburgh People’s Theatre at the Church Hill, is everything you could want from a traditional pantomime.
Ne’er The Twain
★★★★☆ Couthie comedy

Cinderella
★★★★☆ Heartwarming

★★★★☆ Classic comedy
Edinburgh People’s Theatre, 80 years young and regulars at the Fringe since Methuselah was a boy, return to one of their greatest hits in style with a production of Whisky Galore at Mayfield Salisbury Church.
