Duncan Kidd
Trust Me & Wasted
★★★★☆ (Trust Me) & ★★★☆☆ (Wasted)
The Festival of Peer Inspiration is a chance to see two pieces of theatre of a kind which tours widely through Scotland’s schools, but which are rarely even acknowledged in the wider theatre community.
The Sideshow
★★★☆☆ In the zone:
In the week when moves to regulate AirBnB failed and it was decided to curtain Princess Street Gardens off during commercial gigs, Active Inquiry’s The Sideshow feels remarkably relevant.
A Field of Our Own
★★★★☆ Inclusive:
There is more at stake in Duncan Kidd’s play about the birth of Hibernian Football Club than just its Easter Road stadium. Echoed in Edinburgh’s history is an issue which still exists today.
Hibs Play for #EdFringe
Strange Town post casting call for Hibs Play:
Easter Road stadium is to become a venue at the 2017 fringe, staging a new community play about the history of Hibernian Football Club.
Strange Town Nights
TV appearances and shows for youth company:
Edinburgh-based Strange Town youth theatre has a double celebration this week as four of its members appear in the BBC’s new drama Stonemouth and five of its productions hit the Scottish Storytelling Centre stage.
