An A-Z of #MadeInEdinburgh EdFringe 2024 reviews
All the reviews in a big alphabetical list
Here, because it might be useful, is a big alphabetical list of links to all our reviews of shows at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024 and EIF that were Made in Edinburgh.
A Girl Gets Naked In This
★★★★☆ Intimate and raw
A Girl Gets Naked In This from St Andrews-based People You Know, is a series of raw monologues about sex from nine young women’s perspectives. While all of the monologues are broadly about sex, they manage to cover a lot of ground – the good, the bad, and the mohawked.
Trainspotting Live
★★★★★ Visceral
Overstimulating, intense, shocking, and emotional, Trainspotting Live at Pleasance at EICC isn’t afraid to take it too far – and has become a sensation by doing just that.
An American Love Letter to Edinburgh
★★★★☆ Enchantingly Earnest
Equipped only with a book and a glass of water, storyteller Rick Conte masterfully intertwines the true tales of two Edinburgh visitors separated by nearly 250 years in An American Love Letter to Edinburgh at the Scottish Storytelling Centre.
Joe Hill: The Man Who Never Died
★★★★☆ Inspiring
Joe Hill: The Man Who Never Died, from The Joe Hill Project with Joey Shaw at C aurora, is an old-fashioned piece of political street theatre performed with clarity and focus.
Casual Encounters
★★★☆☆ Dark sex comedy
It is Saturday night and, following advice from a counsellor that he and his wife should have more sex, middle-aged Morningside banker, James, played by Ade Smith, is looking forward to his first experience of wife swapping.
Black is the Color of My Voice
★★★★☆ Stirring
Created by Apphia Campbell, Black is the Color of My Voice from Seabright Live looks back at the life of a musician, singer, and civil-rights activist on what seems to be the eve of her father’s funeral, as his death inspires her to seek clarity and redemption.
A Bohemian Life
★★★★☆ Joyful
The Bohemian Lyric Opera Company filled Edinburgh New Town Church with joy and show tunes for two days this Fringe with their concert A Bohemian Life.
