Review: The Unlikely Friendship of Feather Boy and Tentacle Girl, Edfringe.
A show that has spectacular, breathtaking performances that really can't be faulted, yet is strangely still lacking dramatic tension.

Review: Moving On… Really, Really Slowly, EdFringe
Novel, neurodivergent, nonsense humour with more than a hint of slime.
-
Review: The Unstoppable Rise of Ben Manager, EdFringe
One man’s bizarrely bonkers, hugely entertaining rise through the corporate world
-
Review: Book of Mountains and Seas, Royal Lyceum Theatre
A polished production that exudes ethereal mystery, but is overly static.
-
Review: The Britpop Hour with Marc Burrows, EdFringe
In a laughter-filled hour, Burrows deftly delivers a treatise on the phenomenon of Britpop using a mixture of video content, comedy and lecture, with audience participation and live music throughout.

Review: Timestamp, EdFringe
A performance that compellingly explores how women, all over the world, continue to struggle with societal expectation of them as a result of their gender.
-
Review: Tale of a Potato, EdFringe
An aesthetically captivating show that gives beauty and significance to the most humble of tubers, while reflecting profoundly on the human condition.

Review: The Last Bantam, EdFringe
Gritty human history given fresh life

Review: WANTED, EdFringe
Comedic but quietly challenging, this play will keep you guessing until the very end.
