Edinburgh University Theatre Company
Oedipus Doesn’t Live Here Anymore
★★★☆☆ Uncompromising
Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s Oedipus Doesn’t Live Here Anymore is a challengingly complex update to the Greek myth of Oedipus, who unknowingly killed his father and married his mother.
Slash
★★★★☆ Witty and clever
Slash is a witty murder mystery with a clever twist. Performed at Bedlam by the Edinburgh University Theatre Company, the show is a whodunnit with perfect comedic timing. Set entirely in a boy’s toilet.
Who We Are Now
Work in Progress: 70s/80s vibe
Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s Who We Are Now, written and directed by Thaddeus Buttrey and produced by Ching Zhan, is a rock opera presented as a work in progress, that is already giving off a very enjoyable 70s/80s vibe.
Things I Know to be True
★★★★☆ Captivating
Things I Know to be True by the Australian writer, Andrew Bovell, staged by Edinburgh University Theatre Company at the Bedlam to Saturday, is a less well-known piece, although Higher Drama students may know it intimately.
Salomé
★★★★☆ Uneven but compelling
Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s presentation of Oscar Wilde’s Salomé is wilfully uneven, not always carefully judged, yet ultimately extremely impressive.
Translations
★★★★☆ Clear
Edinburgh University Theatre Company bring a welcome clarity to Translations, at the Bedlam to Saturday, in a production which gets inside the many shades of meaning to Brian Friel’s script.
Fire Signs
★★★☆☆ Relatable
Fire Signs from the Edinburgh University Theatre Company at Pleasance Courtyard until August 15, is a celebration of the intensity of friendships at university.
Eight
★★★★☆ Powerful monologues:
There is a confidence and spirit to Eight, at the Bedlam, that makes for highly successful theatre.
