I, Claudius
★★★★☆ Epic
Local company Strawmoddie, known for their series of Terry Pratchett stage adaptations, take on ancient Rome in an ambitious two-part production of I, Claudius, bringing the 1976 television series to the stage for the first time in this limited world-premiere run.
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.
Endgame
★★★★☆ Beautifully judged
The EUTC’s production of Endgame, at the Bedlam for three nights, is an exemplary production on almost every level. The direction and all of the performances are very fine indeed.
The Virtuous Burglar
★★★☆☆ Uproarious
A nod to British 1970s classics is a smart touch adding comic familiarity to Italian farce The Virtuous Burglar, which appears at the Royal Scots Club until 9 August.
Under Milk Wood
★★★★☆ Accomplished
EUTC’s staging of Under Milk Wood, at the Bedlam until Saturday, is a beautifully realised and engaging piece of theatre.
Much Ado About Nothing
★★★☆☆ Energetic
The Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company’s Much Ado About Nothing at the Pleasance is a good-natured if uneven production.
