SQUAT!
★★★☆☆ Dynamic
SQUAT! is a lively and dynamic new play by Benedict Hoesl from Balancing Act Theatre at theSpace on the Mile, that delves into the different ways that men grieve.
Is This Your First Crime?
★★★★☆ Criminally Funny
Is This Your First Crime? in a mid-morning slot at theSpace on the Mile, sees New Celts alumni Long Face Theatre, deliver on both halves of their promised remit – comedy and new writing; providing a fast-paced start to the day.
A Giggle With The Gaggle
★★★★☆ Affecting
Balancing Act Theatre’s A Giggle With The Gaggle, at theSpace on the Mile, is both laugh-out-loud funny and genuinely sad.
Halfway Home
★★★☆☆ Fresh
There is something very apt in seeing Halfway Home, a new play by Deliverance Theatre, in its late-night slot. The characters are tired. Tired of working so hard, tired of the bureaucracies they need to deal with. Tired of being stuck
Follow Me
★★★★☆ Weirdly plausible
The Dog Ate My Theatre and New Celts’ Follow Me at theSpace on the Mile is a breathless and often ludicrous romp whose sheer brass neck, and roots in contemporary unreality, win out in the end.
Living the Dream
★★★☆☆ Sympathetic
A subtle and affecting portrait of young men, Steel Antler and New Celts’ Living The Dream at theSpace on the Mile does not always succeed in forging its own identity but has much to recommend it.
It’s Always Sunny on Olympus
★★★☆☆ Fun
Combining sitcom and mythology is the kind of high-concept premise that can always find a willing audience at the Fringe. It’s Always Sunny on Olympus from Mind Yer Head and New Celts at theSpace on The Mile doesn’t completely succeed in living up to its promise, but is entertaining nevertheless.
Turn The Screw, Tickety-Boo
★★★★☆ Empathetic
Turn The Screw, Tickety-Boo! by David Scott, performed by Faceless Theatre and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile, is a compassionate piece of theatre that overcomes some peculiarities with assured direction and performances.
The Hypochondriac
★★★★★ Theatrical medicine
The Hypochondriac from Rebrand Theatre and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile is a comic triumph. Intelligently adapted and acted by a company bursting with comic potential, it is hugely entertaining, resolutely theatrical and recommended without hesitation.
Angelshark
★★★★☆ Considered
Blue Dot Theatre and New Celts’ Angelshark, by Annie White, at theSpace on the Mile is a clever and polished piece that does not shout about its values but has real heart.
