Review: Midnight in Nashville, The Glitch
A good country epic, but one that could use another verse.

Review: Woodhill, Zoo Southside
Theatre that is more than just something to watch. Woodhill is the start of the conversation, and it is our job to make sure everyone hears it.

Review: Teen Spirit, theSpace @ Surgeons’ Hall
It's a show that still needs work, but there is no denying it’s already a fun offering, especially if you're a bit of rock music geek!

Review: Extra Dry, Greenside @ Riddlers Court
An honest piece of storytelling about an addiction not to booze but to the fun person she believes she becomes with a few drinks inside her.

Review: Cogito Ergo… Something?, Bedlam Theatre
A classic piece of farce that takes more than a little influence from the TV series Bottom.
-
Review: A Slow Fire, Jermyn Street Theatre
A tense three‑hander set in a claustrophobic bunker and driven by strong performances, striking design and clever storytelling. It explores hope, survival and shifting power dynamics in an intimate post‑apocalyptic world.

Review: Fractured, Underbelly Cowgate
Clever production values keep this mysterious play moving along at pace as we try to piece together the fragments of Eva’s memories of events.

Review: The Bear That Wasn’t; OPEN Southall, Parkside Yards
A beautifully crafted and enchanting marionette show, layered with intriguing questions about identity and the human relationship with nature.

Review: Verity Sharpe: Landlord’s Wet Dream, Assembly Bristo Square
A mix of stand-up and poetry; it's the latter when Verity Sharpe comes fully alive.

Review: Otuz Bir, Venue 13
Tackling female violence with a talking vagina might seem tasteless, but Otuz Bir proves that anything is possible.
