EdFringe expands poster comp
Schools winners will inspire programme cover:
The fringe has expanded its annual schools poster competition so that three winning designs will be used to inspire three covers of next August’s fringe programme.
Five Guys Named Moe
★★★☆☆ Energetic:
Boisterous enjoyment and foot-tapping music compensate for outdated attitudes in Underbelly’s revival of Five Guys Named Moe, at the Spiegeltent inFestival Square until January.
Double Diva Date
Reid and Toyne double date at Ghillie Dhu:
Natalie Arle-Toyne will join with Edward Reid for a double event of solo performances with a twist at the Ghillie Dhu this Wednesday, 30 November 2016.
#EdFringe shows for NTS
NTS announces 2017 season
The National Theatre of Scotland has announced details of three shows which will be playing the Edinburgh Fringe in August 2017, with more involvement with the festivals to be announced later.
Puss In Boots
★★★★☆ Huge laughs:
Great fun is to be had at Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Puss In Boots, which gets the pantomime season off to a riotous start.
Rambert: Ghost Dances
★★★★☆ Bitty:
Vicious, enthralling, politically charged and emotionally engaging, Rambert’s revival of Ghost Dances, is still powerful, 35 years after it was created.
Jekyll & Hyde
★★★☆☆ Split decision:
Splendidly sung and with some excellent dancing, EUSOG’s Jekyll & Hyde – The Musical is a little deficient in both thrills and laughs.
Green Tea
★★★☆☆ Nightmarish
Scary and well-thought out, Sophie Good’s adaptation of the short Victorian horror story Green Tea finds suitable resonances in contemporary Edinburgh.
Ghost the Musical
★★★☆☆ Unbelievable:
Part thriller, part romantic comedy, part Sarah Harding casting error, Ghost: the Musical, at the Playhouse to Saturday, does just about everything expected of it.
Two Tribes Clash!
Clash of the new-writing nights:
Edinburgh is poised for not one, not two, but three different nights of new writing, running simultaneously this Thursday, 24 November 2016.
