theSpace on the Mile
Transfers
★★☆☆☆ Underdeveloped
Arbery Theatre brings new play Transfers to theSpace on the Mile for a full run of the Fringe, tracking the movement of £500 through a group of people and the connections they make.
Confessions of a Lunatic
★★★☆☆ Atmospheric
An attempt to go over familiar ground in a new way is not always wholly successful in Confessions of a Lunatic, from Nightshade Theatre and New Celts.
Screaming Into the Void
★★★☆☆ Intriguing premise
Clever writing and fine acting characterise Piece of Work Theatre and New Celts’ Screaming Into the Void at theSpace on the Mile on even dates throughout the Fringe. The result is not always focused, but is always interesting.
The Big Day
★★★★☆ Absorbing
The Big Day by Milly Sweeney, Pure Class and New Celts’ production at theSpace on the Mile on even dates throughout the Fringe, is an extremely impressive piece of politically informed, compassionate theatre.
You Have Failed Me for the Last Time
★★☆☆☆ Patchy
The Optimiserables and New Celts’ You Have Failed Me For The Last Time is only patchily entertaining. At theSpace on the Mile on even dates throughout the Fringe, it is neither a full-blown parody nor a fully coherent piece of drama.
Sex, Drugs and…?
★★★☆☆ Energetic
Sex, Drugs and…? – from Culture Riot! and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile on even dates throughout the Fringe – is a journey through the well-worn paths of rock dreams and heartbreaks.
Life’s A Drag
★★★★☆ Never drags
There is a great deal going on in Life’s A Drag, from Not Today Satan Theatre and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile on odd dates throughout the Fringe. Too much, perhaps – but the end result is funny, touching and well put together.
Good For You
★★★★☆ Punchy
Good For You, from Something’s Afoot Theatre Company and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile on odd dates throughout the Fringe, is a cleverly written, well acted, thoroughly absorbing piece.
Goodbye Postie
★★★☆☆ Heartfelt
Returning after a run in the PBH Free Fringe in 2023, Deliverance Theatre’s Goodbye Postie drops into theSpace on the Mile for Week One of the Fringe.
Nightmares by Sandy Jack
★☆☆☆☆ Incoherent
Sandy Jack returns to the Fringe under the auspices of Lynch Lovers with new show Nightmares at theSpace on the Mile. Described as a “surreal/horror anthology” inspired by Jack’s own nightmares, David Lynch, and The Twilight Zone, it is frankly an incoherent mess.
