Flight
★★★★★ Masterful
Vox Motus’ Flight is an emotional and powerful work of art – an experience like no other that stays with you long after leaving Edinburgh’s Church Hill Theatre.
Ubu Roi
★★☆☆☆ Patter, physical
There is no shortage of energy in Ludens Ensemble’s take on Ubu Roi. However, that energy is dissipated in an over-indulgent production.
Green Knight
★★★★☆ Brave:
Debbie Cannon is making a serious gamble with Green Knight, playing the Royal Scots Club three nights a week for the three weeks of the fringe.
Class Mates
★★★☆☆ Qualified success:
Acted with drive and commitment, A Dash of Theatre and New Celts Productions’ Class Mates largely overcomes a script that has its drawbacks.
100
★★★★☆ Stretching:
An otherworldly take on very human dilemmas is aided by some outstanding performances in Lone Light Theatre and New Celts Productions’ 100.
Jocky Wilson Said
★★★★☆ I’m in heaven:
Blessed memories of a Scottish sporting legend are evoked superbly by Grant O’Rourke in the Gilded Balloon’s Jocky Wilson Said.
Ladies’ Day
★★★★☆ Good each-way bet
Saughtonhall Drama Club’s Ladies’ Day has warm humour, the odd spiky line and a finely put together production.
The Amorous Ambassador
★★★☆☆ A good stab:
Peppered with comic potential, Leitheatre’s production of The Amorous Ambassador clearly has a talented team behind it at the Inverleith St Serf’s Church Centre for the first fortnight of the fringe.
