Macbeth: Sleep No More
★★★☆☆ Well Spoken
Reducing Shakespeare’s cast of forty-plus characters to a company of four female performers, Shadow Road Productions brings Macbeth: Sleep No More back to the Fringe in an adaptation that encapsulates the essence of the Scottish Play.
Dido & Aeneas
★★★☆☆ Small but mighty
Fife Opera’s stripped-down production of Henry Purcell’s Dido & Aeneas in the airy stained-glass nave of Edinburgh New Town Church, is small in scale but sacrifices nothing in emotion or vocal quality.
TERF
★★★★☆ Thought provoking
TERF, written and directed by Joshua Kaplan, blazes into the Fringe to a cacophony of Twitter notification pings, bringing unapologetic social commentary to the stage, 280 characters at a time.
