The Song of Fergus and Kate
★★★☆☆ Appealing
Watch This Space Productions’ The Song of Fergus and Kate at the Gilded Balloon Wine Bar in Teviot is an agreeable miniature, not always thought through but full of endearing moments.
Swallowed
★★★☆☆ Convincingly performed
Frizz Theatre’s Swallowed is a production whose desire for topicality proves a drawback. Nevertheless, two excellent performances redeem any deficiencies.
First Piano on the Moon
★★★★☆ Endearing
Will Pickvance’s First Piano on the Moon at Pianodrome is a charming show aimed at families with children 6 and up, mixing tunefulness, storytelling and warmth.
Make-Up
★★★★☆ Intimate
Make-Up, from NoLogo Productions at the Underbelly Wee Coo in George Square, is a disarmingly truthful and humorous piece, adroitly constructed and beautifully performed.
The End of Eddy (EIF)
★★★★☆ Enthusiastic
The End of Eddy’s unflinching examination of small-town prejudice is done with verve and humour at the Church Hill Theatre as part of this year’s Edinburgh International Festival.
