A Play A Pie and A Pint
PPP: I’m Dissolving My Love In A Bath Of Acid
★★★☆☆ Absurd
Oozing with comic brio, I’m Dissolving My Love In A Bath Of Acid at the Traverse is a wonderfully performed and energetic if ultimately superficial piece.
PPP: Ten Things To Do Before You Die
★★★☆☆ Poignant performances
There is much to recommend in Dani Heron’s Ten Things To Do Before You Die, the latest Play, Pie and a Pint at the Traverse. Both humorous and emotional, the production manages to overcome drawbacks in its script.

What’s on Edinburgh’s stages this week…
It’s the return of the Lyceum! About time too, we say, in a week which is also pretty strong on local amateur companies and has another bundle of catch-ups at the Playhouse and the Festival theatre.
PPP: Oscar
★★★★☆ Perfectly formed
A funny, touching and tremendously acted musical, Oscar by Brian James O’Sullivan heralds the welcome return of Oran Mor’s A Play, A Pie and A Pint to the Traverse.
Listings: Mon 28 Feb – Sun 6 March 2022
What’s on Edinburgh’s stages this week
It is an exciting week on Edinburgh stages, with plenty of scope to take your mind away from events elsewhere in the world.
PPP: A New Life (A Mini Musical)
★★★☆☆ Emotional
A New Life (A Mini Musical) at the Traverse every lunchtime this week is certainly not ‘mini’ in its emotional scope or its ambition.
PPP: Rose
★★★☆☆ Important
Rose, the latest in the new series of A Play, A Pie and A Pint, produced by Oran Mor in association with Aberdeen Performing Arts and the Traverse, is an involving biographical sporting tale.
PPP: Celestial Body
★★★★☆ Brooding
The return of A Play, A Pie and A Pint to the Traverse with Morna Pearson’s Celestial Body, which runs to Saturday, is certainly something to celebrate.
