Cogito, Ergo… Something?
★★★★☆ Dark
Cogito, Ergo…Something?, written and directed by James Harvey and performed by the Edinburgh University Theatre Company at their iconic Bedlam Theatre home (“not a church”, as the helpful sign says outside) has very dark roots.
The Pillowman
★★★☆☆ Protracted
The Pillowman, by EUTC at the Bedlam for three performances only, succeeds on many levels but cannot fully overcome some obvious problems.
Metamorphoses
★★★★☆ Sweeping
Metamorphoses from the EUTC at the Bedlam is a journey through classical myth that is unfocused and wilfully uneven, but is frequently compelling, has energy to spare, and boasts some remarkably fine performances.
Antigone
★★★★☆ Powerful
Antigone, from the EUTC at the Bedlam until Saturday, makes a 2500 year-old play as relevant as ever in a production of considered intelligence and fine acting.
