Gaudi: God’s Architect
★★★☆☆ Fascinating
Gaudi: God’s Architect by AGAP (Archdiocese of Glasgow Arts Project) recounts the life of Antonio Gaudi, the eccentric Spanish architect now celebrated for his still unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, through the perspective of his strong religious belief.
The Gummy Bears’ Great War
★★★★☆ A lot to chew on
The Gummy Bears’ Great War at C alto is the kind of thing you traditionally expect to see at the Fringe; a seemingly crazy idea that actually works convincingly.
Shakespeare for Breakfast
★★★★☆ Feelgood start
This is the 32nd year that C Theatre has staged Shakespeare for Breakfast at the Fringe with its offer of early morning coffee, croissant and an irreverent hit of the bard.
Rent
★★★☆☆ Powerful
Sound Events Scotland have risen to the challenge of Jonathan Larson’s Rent commendably, with an exuberant cast totally immersed in its demands.
Ring That Bell!
★★★★☆ Eternal
Welcome to hell! Please be seated and give your attention to the orientation presentation on your eternal stay in the centre of the earth.
Sammy Blew Up A Toilet
★★★☆☆ Comical
Sammy Blew Up A Toilet from The Crunch Collective is playing The Space @ Venue 45 for the final week of the Fringe.
Babe Alien
★★★☆☆ Weirdly fascinating
Mon Espoir’s Babe Alien is a weirdly fascinating story in which an innocent outsider living in Las Vegas, but apparently from another world, takes a critical look at American culture and behaviour.
Mary: A Gig Theatre Show
★★★☆☆ heartfelt
A blend of spoken word poetry and original songs, Mary: A Gig Theatre Show is a feminist retelling of the life of Mary, Queen of Scots. With an atmosphere like an indie music gig, this is casual, friendly, welcoming and a loving ode to a misunderstood monarch.
River time!
★★★☆☆ Brave
ADHD is a lot more than being late and losing your keys, Laura Thurlow tells us in her one woman show River Time! running at Greenside @ Riddles Court all Fringe.
Regina Vagina
★★★★★ Smash
Hosted by William “Shakey” Shakespeare Regina Vagina, a new historical comedy musical from Erstwhile Media, takes a satirical romp through the life of Elizabeth I, famously known as the Virgin Queen, and asks the all-important questions: But did she?
