Shakespeare in the Garden: Romantic Romeo
✭✭✭✩✩ Family Fun:
Young critics scheme review
A cheesy, child-friendly adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, Captivate Theatre’s Shakespeare in the Garden: Romantic Romeo is a fast-paced musical will appeal to all the family.
Titus Andronicus
✭✭✭✩✩ There will be blood:
Bloody, nasty and noisy, the Grads’s production of Titus Andronicus at the Assembly Roxy has all of the ingredients of a memorable shocker but it is let down by some confused moments and a surprising politeness.
Titus in Iraq
Grads’ Andronicus steps into modern era:
The buzz has predictably focussed on the blood and the guts in the Grads’ new production of Titus Andronicus, which is at the Assembly Roxy to Saturday this week.
The Merchant of Venice
✭✭✭✩✩ Ambitiously intelligent:
Aiming high, Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company’s production of The Merchant of Venice is accomplished and intelligent. If it does not always live up to its potential, it is not for want of trying.
Hamlet
✭✭✭✭✩ Dynamic and deadly
With a cast of only six, Gin & Tonic Productions create an intense and accessible abridged version of Hamlet that leaves a craving for more.
Lear’s Daughters
✭✭✭✭✩ Transfixing tragedy
Footfall Theatre Company take Shakespeare’s Lear down into the basement of C Nova and there reveal a new aspect to his story.
Brave MacBeth
✭✭✭✭✩ Foot-tapping treason
Something wicked this way comes to the Famous Spiegeltent in St Andrews Square this fringe. As part of their Did Not Deserve to Die series, Captivate Drama, present the grisly Scottish Play.
The Tempest – Review
✭✭✭✩✩ Bristles with physicality
Roaring out onto the Pleasance Theatre’s specially constructed thrust stage, this is a Tempest which bristles with physicality and thrills knowingly with contemporary twists.
