Review: 113, Edfringe
A bold concept in need of development: 113 is set in dystopian confinement, with two occupants trying to work out who they are and why they are there. Despite its potential, the end is swift and pedestrian.
-
Review: Up, EdFringe
A slick, funny and inventive performance that uses small objects to tell a big tale: it’s all about how you look at it.
-
Review: I Was a German, EdFringe
Storytelling at its finest, most impactful and timely.

Review: 1966, Edfringe
An enthusiastic cast give a snapshot of teen life from the 1960s in this mini jukebox musical
-
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.
