Church Hill Theatre
Cunning EPT Foxes
EPT go forth with classic Blackadder:
Edinburgh People’s Theatre is staging a rare production of classic BBC comedy Blackadder this week at the Church Hill Theatre.
The Producers
★★★☆☆ Solid
It’s springtime for EMT and parody up at the Church Hill Theatre this week as the amateur musicals company bring their doughty staging of The Producers to life.
EPT Costume Call
Call out for WW1 costumes:
Edinburgh People’s Theatre are having to be as cunning as foxes made Professors of Cunning of Oxford University as they attempt to avoid going into battle au naturale.
Guys and Dolls
★★☆☆☆ Inconsistent entertainment:
Spirited but patchy and somewhat confused, the Edinburgh University Footlights production of Guys and Dolls at the Church Hill Theatre is enjoyable but falls short of what it might be.
Cinderella
★★★★☆ Charming:
Music, dance, fun, bizarre cross-dressing and genuine enjoyment are all in evidence in Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s Cinderella at the Church Hill. In other words, it is a proper old-fashioned pantomime – and a very good one too.
Allegro seek Sunshine trio
Musicals company call out for creatives
Allegro, the amateur Musical Theatre company, has announced that it is to stage Sunshine on Leith at the Church Hill Theatre in Autumn 2016.
Lovers
★★★☆☆ Emotive:
There’s a truth and vulnerability to Leitheatre’s take on Brian Friel’s early pair of conjoined plays, Lovers: Winners and Losers, at the Church Hill to Saturday.
Church Hill Lovers
Friel’s Lovers for Leitheatre:
Fans of the late great Irish playwright Brian Friel should be in for a treat this week as Leitheatre revive one of his early plays, Lovers, at the Church Hill Theatre.
South Pacific
★★★★☆ Slick and sassy:
The vibrant colours of a lush, South Pacific tropical garden, with views to a distant volcanic island, frame Edinburgh Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s offering for this dreich October up at the Church Hill all week.
The Tales of Hoffmann
★★★☆☆ Enjoyable fantasy:
Lively and hugely likeable, Opera Camerata’s production of The Tales of Hoffmann is a largely pacy and accomplished affair.
