Follow Me
★★★★☆ Weirdly plausible
The Dog Ate My Theatre and New Celts’ Follow Me at theSpace on the Mile is a breathless and often ludicrous romp whose sheer brass neck, and roots in contemporary unreality, win out in the end.
Living the Dream
★★★☆☆ Sympathetic
A subtle and affecting portrait of young men, Steel Antler and New Celts’ Living The Dream at theSpace on the Mile does not always succeed in forging its own identity but has much to recommend it.
It’s Always Sunny on Olympus
★★★☆☆ Fun
Combining sitcom and mythology is the kind of high-concept premise that can always find a willing audience at the Fringe. It’s Always Sunny on Olympus from Mind Yer Head and New Celts at theSpace on The Mile doesn’t completely succeed in living up to its promise, but is entertaining nevertheless.
An Opportunity in Kind
★★★★☆ Tight ensemble
One of two Fringe shows by Edinburgh-based The Optimiserables, An Opportunity in Kind at theSpace on the Mile, manages to strike a remarkably authentic note in spite of its rather absurd narrative.
Life’s A Drag
★★★★☆ Never drags
There is a great deal going on in Life’s A Drag, from Not Today Satan Theatre and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile on odd dates throughout the Fringe. Too much, perhaps – but the end result is funny, touching and well put together.
Romance on Repeat
★★★☆☆ Repetitious
There is commitment and an intriguing central premise in Backyard Alchemy and New Celts’ Romance On Repeat – at theSpace on the Mile on odd dates throughout the Fringe. However, the end result does not always convince.
