★★★☆☆ Song and dance:

Gary McNair’s McGonagall’s Chronicles, the first in the new series of A Play, A Pie and a Pint at the Traverse, is a winningly daffy confection. While it may not treat its subject entirely fairly, it does at least show him unusual sympathy.
Arkle Fringe Auditions
Arkle issue open call for EdFringe shows:
Edinburgh amateur company Arkle theatre has put out an open call to its auditions for its two 2018 EdFringe shows, which will run for week two of the fringe at the Royal Scots Club.
Justin’s Band
★★★☆☆ Tumbled:
