Sycamore Grove
★★★★☆ Sinister and captivating
The unsettling nature of Sycamore Grove, which had its premiere at the 2023 Edinburgh Horror Festival and now returns to the Bedlam for Week One of the Fringe in a production from Slainte! Theatre, starts from the moment you enter venue.
Friday Night at the Horror Fest
I SEE RED: ★★☆☆☆ Over ambitious
Sycamore Grove: ★★★★☆ Satisfying
The Shadow in the Dark: ★★★☆☆ Spooky
The Masks of Oscar Wilde
★★★★☆ Accomplished
The Masks of Oscar Wilde, from Matchmaker Productions at Greenside @ Riddles Court, is an informative account of Wilde’s life. The play may not be the best structured work imaginable, but this production makes the most of it under difficult circumstances.
The Roses of Eyam
★★★★☆ Unexpected insights
Disconcertingly relevant, the EUTC’s production of Don Taylor’s The Roses Of Eyam at the Augustine United Church until Sunday provides unexpected insights into our own plague years.
