Saughtonhall
A Trilogy of Comedies
★★★★☆ Celebratory
The Trilogy of Comedies, presented by Saughtonhall Drama Group at Saughtonhall United Reformed Church to mark their 75th anniversary, provide geniality, stagecraft and much laughter.
Alter Ego
★★★☆☆ Humorous
Alter Ego by Tom Casling, from Saughtonhall Drama Group at Saughtonhall United Reformed Church, is a comedy with poignant moments, performed with diligence and wit.
The Fed-Up Christmas Fairy
★★★☆☆ Likeable
The Fed-Up Christmas Fairy, Saughtonhall’s post-Christmas entertainment, is a short and unassuming piece that carries considerable charm.
Cock O’ The North
★★★★☆ Fizzing
There is a great evening to be had at Saughtonhall United Reform Church, where the drama company is staging a snappy and positively fizzing production of Cock O’ The North until Saturday 13.
Nightmare
★★★☆☆ Oddly enjoyable:
A frankly implausible plot, that breaks several of the cardinal rules of crime fiction, is largely overcome by the committed performances in Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Nightmare.
Cocoa and Cuddles
★★☆☆☆ Curiously disconnected:
Saughtonhall Drama Club opens its 70th anniversary year with Cocoa and Cuddles by Jane Lockyer Willis, a strange and worryingly disconnected piece of theatre.
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.
Hatches, Matches and Dispatches
★★★★☆ Beautiful timing:
There is genuine warmth in Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Hatches, Matches and Dispatches, adding to a real drive and considerable understanding of comedy.
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.
A Murder Is Announced
★★★☆☆ Pleasing:
Thoughtful and well staged, Saughtonhall Drama Group’s production of Agatha Christie’s A Murder Is Announced is a solid evening’s entertainment.
