Christmas Week Listings
Shows to get you in the holiday mood…
There is a full card of productions to see in Edinburgh this week before Christmas, with availability for nearly every show (but not every performance) and something for most tastes.
An Edinburgh Christmas Carol
★★★★☆ Timely
There is so much to commend in the return of An Edinburgh Christmas Carol to the Lyceum, where it runs through until December 31.
Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of)
★★★★★ Spectacular comedy feast
Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) returns to Edinburgh in spectacular style. The retelling of Jane Austen’s classic highlights a time when, for a woman, finding financial security in the shape of a man took priority, while featuring a strong all-female cast who prove that women really can do it all.
Lyceum 2023 Spring Season
Lyceum announces four-strong spring Season
The Lyceum has announced a Spring season 2023 of four female-led productions with shows written or adapted by Zinnie Harris, Ahlam, Isobel McArthur and Lesley Hart.
This Is Memorial Device
★★★★☆ Phantasmagoric realism
The Lyceum’s extraordinary run of success at this year’s festivals continues with This Is Memorial Device, their collaboration with the Book Festival.
Tim Crouch: Truth’s a Dog Must to Kennel
★★★★★ Exit, mind blown
Truth’s a Dog Must to Kennel is a worryingly prescient piece. It is an exquisite creation that apparently denies the very point of creativity, a hymn to humanity that insists that humanity has had it. To call it ‘thought-provoking’ would be a criminal understatement.
Another un-fine Covid mess
Lyceum cancels performances of Laurel and Hardy
The remaining six performances this week of Laurel and Hardy at the Lyceum have been cancelled due to an incidence of Covid 19 in the company.
Austen rom-com returns
Pride and Prejudice* (*Sort Of) sets Scottish dates
The Olivier award winning production of Pride and Prejudice* (*Sort Of) is returning to Scotland this Autumn with three weeks at the Royal Lyceum followed by a week at the Glasgow King’s.
Laurel & Hardy
★★★★☆ Skilfully hilarious
There is a deeply felt element to Laurel & Hardy at the Lyceum, that enhances the hilarity on display in note-perfect recreations of classic comedy.
