Concerned Others
★★★★☆ Moving
Concerned Others is an inventive piece that addresses vital social issues in a way that is poignant, informed and deeply creative.
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
★★★★☆ Imposing
Adaptations of Muriel Spark are never in short supply on the Edinburgh stage, but the National Theatre of Scotland’s production of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is a monumental production in many ways.
Mayflies
★★★★☆ Sparkling
Grid Iron’s site-specific Mayflies is in part a massively spirited hymn to the youth culture of the 1980s. But you don’t have to have lived through that decade to appreciate such a melancholy yet defiantly bright production.
NTS’s Brodie Cast announced
Cast and creatives of “spicy” adaptation to open at Lyceum
The National Theatre of Scotland has announced the full cast and creative team of the new production of David Harrower’s adaptation of Muriel Spark’s The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, opening at the Lyceum in October.
One Day: The Musical
★★★★☆ Accomplished
One Day: The Musical, from the Royal Lyceum and Melting Pot, is a hugely ambitious production that has a correspondingly large impact, even with the odd problem in execution.
Make It Happen (EIF)
★★★★☆ Salutary reminder
Make It Happen at the Festival Theatre has all of the trappings of an Event with a capital E. Even if it doesn’t quite justify that status, it is impressive.
The Mountaintop
★★★★☆ Vital
The Lyceum’s production of The Mountaintop is an enthralling, beautifully performed examination of history and humanity.
Wild Rose
★★★★★ Triumphant
New musical Wild Rose is the last show of David Greig’s eight years as Artistic Director of the Lyceum and it is an absolute triumph.
When Prophecy Fails
★★★★★ Purposeful
Adapted from a 1954 American study into the social psychology and cognitive dissonance of a UFO religion called the Seekers, When Prophecy Fails is an exploration of the community and humanity behind what could easily be perceived as cult.
The Outrun (EIF)
★★★★☆ Grandeur
The Outrun, from the International Festival and the Lyceum at the Church Hill Theatre for the whole three weeks, is a hugely ambitious, beautifully staged and extremely impressive production.
