The Devil Masters
✭✭✩✩✩ Lacks bite:
Uneven and stiltedly political, The Devil Masters is a peculiar festive offering from the Traverse.
PPP: Squash
★★★★☆ Troubling
Macabre and brutalised, Martin McCormick’s nerve-wracking offering for lunchtime theatre, A Play, A Pie and a Pint, has distinctly Lynchian overtones which director Finn Den Hertog relishes in bringing out.
Union – Review
✭✭✭✩✩ In rude health
Bawdy, hugely ambitious and almost wilfully uneven, the Lyceum’s world premiere of Union should be applauded for its intentions even if the results are not wholly successful.
Review – Barflies
★★★★☆ Genuinely engaging
Having enthralled audiences and critics alike at the Fringe in 2009, Grid Iron’s Barflies, an adaptation of a clutch of Charles Bukowski’s writings, now sets out to prove its worth outside the rarified festival atmosphere.
Review – The Dark Things
★★★★☆:
Porno, snuff and pretentious art are the dark things which director Dominic Hill and writer Ursula Rani Sarma are conjuring with at Edinburgh’s Traverse Theatre.
