Assembly George Square
EdFringe lockdown memories: Day Six
The #NothingToReviewHere and #SomethingToReview projects
In the eerily fallow Fringe of 2020 and weirdly hybrid event of the following year, The Dibdin Brothers, Thom & Peter, published a daily image from around Edinburgh. Here’s day Six. The day of the random ice skater…
In Everglade Studio
★★★★☆ Sweltering
In Everglade Studio is a tuneful, tense and entertaining production from Black Bat Productions in The Box at Assembly George Square.
Don Quixote
★★★★☆ Knockabout
Taking as its inspiration the towering 17th century Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote at Assembly George Square is an impressively funny affair that is both very silly and very clever.
Shark in the Park
★★★★★ Enthusiastic retelling
This enthusiastic adaptation by Simon Beattie of Nick Sharratt’s Shark in the Park books for local company Nonsense Room Productions, calls in at Assembly George Square as part of a UK tour.
Moby Alpha
✭✭✭✩✩ Skilful sci-fi:
Well thought out and clever, this adaptation of Moby-Dick set in space by Seattle-based duo Charles has an individual visual style, based on a clever use of low-level technology.
Umrao – The Noble Courtesan
✭✭✭✩✩ Fascinating but uneven:
Boasting impressive music and dance, Asian Music Circuit’s Umrao – The Noble Courtesan is a production with deficiencies in many areas, but is thoroughly successful in others.
Hairy Maclary’s Cat Tales – Junior Review
✭✭✭✭✭ Really good
Junior Review by Cora Dibdin
Everyone thought that Hairy Maclary was funny and nearly everyone joined in.
