Royal Scots Club
Bloody Wimmin
★★★★☆ Connecting
Strong individual performances ensure that EGTG’s production of Lucy Kirkwood’s Bloody Wimmin, at the Royal Scots Club for one week only, gives real life to the connection between two protest movements, twenty years apart.
Our Boy
★★★★☆ Engaging
Building Blocks Collective’s production of Helen Hammond’s Our Boy, at The Royal Scots Club for the first two weeks of the Fringe, is staged in a manner that is in keeping with the subject of the play.
Krapp’s Last Tape
★★★★☆ Authentic Krapp:
Wistful and careful, Arkle’s production of Krapp’s Last Tape brings out the humanity in Beckett’s masterpiece. Often seen as a forbidding play, there is nothing remotely inaccessible about this.
Perfect Wedding
★★★★★ Practically perfect:
Perfect Wedding, the Edinburgh Makars’ production at the Royal Scots, is an object lesson in how to put on a farce.
The Taming of the Shrew
★★★☆☆ Uneven updating:
Arkle’s take on The Taming of the Shrew is a largely successful attempt to make relevant one of Shakespeare’s plays that is most troubling to modern audiences.
Low Level Panic
★★★★☆ High level:
Arkle’s early-evening production of Low Level Panic at the Royal Scots Club is excellently put together and performed.
The Merry Wives of Windsor/Holyrood
★★★☆☆ Shakespeare transported:
Let’s get one thing straight right away, EGTG’s show at the Royal Scots Club is not an expose of the fun and frolics of the female members of the Scottish parliament.
EGTG EdFringe Open Call
Shakespeare and Ravenhill for #EdFringe Shows:
EGTG has announced open auditions for its two 2019 Edinburgh Fringe productions on Wednesday 24 and Sunday 28 April when it is looking for a total of 19 cast members.
Plaza Suite
★★★☆☆ Erratic comedy:
The Edinburgh Makars’ production of Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite has considerable comic appeal, even if it takes some time to materialise.
Laugh Out Loud (Cry Quietly)
★★★☆☆ Fresh breeze:
Laugh Out Loud (Cry Quietly), by Arkle at the Royal Scots Club, is a sparky confection lacking profundity but full of energy.
