Review: Wish You Were Here, EdFringe
A searingly authentic snapshot of life in working-class Scotland, with blistering performances from a dynamic cast.

Review: Things To Say When I See You In Person, The Water Rats
Despite strong performances, this romance, dissected through long-distance calls, manages to be both drawn out and yet underdeveloped.

Review: Cyn, Edfringe
Focusing on those left behind, Cyn is about South Wales mining communities that lost heart. Told by a young company with live music, there is much to sing about.

Review: Dazed and Confused, Edfringe
A charming, if sentimental, show with room for a little more of the impressive magic.
-

A pleasant encounter with transformation, imagination and tangerines.

Powerful, provocative, and deeply moving, this is outstanding theatre.

Review: Richard II, The Libra Theatre Café
An abridged version of Shakespeare’s history that keeps the story and feelings intact.

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: The Great Pies of Denby Dale, Bread and Roses Theatre
No soggy bottoms at this silly yet charming production.
