Constellations
★★★☆☆ Needs more variety
There is a clever idea behind Constellations from ZOE and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile. Unfortunately, it is that very idea that prevents it from working as well as it might as a piece of theatre in this production.
Magic Gareth: Level Up!
★★★☆☆ Goofy
Magic Gareth – Level Up!, the family show at the Pleasance from Edinburgh-based Magic Gareth, is a fun and accessible collection of tricks and humour.
An Oak Tree
★★★★★ Clear as water
A mesmeric exploration of belief, loss and imagination as well as an ingeniously conceived experience, Tim Crouch’s An Oak Tree is a stunning piece of theatre.
Nova
★★★★☆ Bold
Nova, from the Lyceum and Pemberley Productions at the Lyceum Studio is a bright, sparkling, provocative and convincing piece of work.
Help! I Think I’m a Nationalist
★★★★☆ Nuanced
Help! I Think I’m a Nationalist at the Lyceum is a deceptively clever, well-crafted and intriguing piece of comic theatre. If you are wary of it because the title might have different ramifications in Scotland from Cornwall (where it originated), or because you are sick of the whole subject – rest assured it is well worth a look.
Prick
★★★☆☆ Historic relevance
Light the Match and New Celts’ Prick at theSpace on the Mile is a production of considerable impact.
Happier Daze
★★★☆☆ Deeply felt
Happier Daze, from RIFF Theatre and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile, is an uneven production, with some problems in its staging but a great deal of heart.
Kingdom
★★★☆☆ Cheerful
Lunar Theatre Company and New Celts’ Kingdom at theSpace on the Mile has a vitality and sense of fun that wins out over a portrait over a future Scotland that does not always come off.
The Rejects
★★★★☆ Intelligently comic
There is huge promise in both the writing and the performing of The Rejects, from Shark Bait Theatre and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile.
Things To Do in Mull
★★★☆☆ Humorous
Things To Do In Mull from Agree to Disagree Theatre and New Celts, at theSpace on the Mile, makes up for in charm for what it lacks in depth.
