St Ninian’s Hall
Fondly Remembered
★★★★☆ Involving:
Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ Fondly Remembered, at St Ninian’s until Saturday, is a production of considerable charm and emotional truth.
The Front Page
★★★★☆ Extreme energy:
There is more nervous energy in Edinburg Theatre Arts’ The Front Page at St Ninian’s Hall than in five average Fringe productions, and the result is very pleasing.
Moon over Buffalo
★★★☆☆ Comic capers:
A strong sense of purpose and plenty of pace ensure that Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of Moon Over Buffalo at St Ninian’s Church Hall is farcical for all the right reasons.
Improbable Fiction
★★★★☆ Varieties of fun:
Edinburgh Theatre Arts are not the only group presenting Alan Ayckbourn this year. While other productions may be more high-profile, it is unlikely they will be much more fun than this production of Improbable Fiction at St Ninian’s.
The Memory of Water
★★★☆☆ Fluid:
There are some very good performances of recognisable human dilemmas in Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of The Memory of Water at St Ninian’s.
Enron
★★★☆☆ Ambitious:
Hugely ambitious, Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of Lucy Prebble’s Enron at St Ninian’s is uneven but always intriguing, and gets a lot right.
Primrose pretensions
ETA double bill pricks cultural pretensions:
Edinburgh Theatre Arts are sending up Scottish cultural pretensions this week with a double bill of plays by contemporary playwrights from opposite ends of the spectrum.
Noises Off
✭✭✭✭✩ Not just technically funny:
Impressive on many levels, Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of Noises Off produces more than its fair share of laughs.
Tartuffe
★★★★☆ Timelessly funny:
Energetic, well drilled and mining a rich seam of comedy, Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of Tartuffe is cleverly staged and particularly enjoyable.
Comedy Double Bill – Review
✭✭✭✩✩ Picked mix
A mixed bag of comedy is to be had up at St Ninian’s this week, where Edinburgh Theatre Arts are giving a decent take on one-act comedies new and old.
