Georgie Purvis
Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
★★★☆☆ Stately
Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike at St Ninian’s is a careful, intelligent production that is not always as funny as it might be.
SCDA One Acts – Friday
Strong opening trio
The Edinburgh district round of the 2023 SCDA One Act Play Festival got of to a strong start up at the Church Hill Theatre on Friday night with a trio of plays that demonstrated the versatility of the competing amateur companies and the quality of their actors.
Nell Gwynn
★★★★☆ Cheerful
Nell Gwynn, presented by Edinburgh Theatre Arts at St Ninian’s, is a hugely enjoyable romp, presented by an enviably well-drilled cast.
In Her Corner
★★★★☆ Hard-hitting:
In Her Corner, Tearin’ The Tartan and New Celts’ production at theSpace on the Mile, has a fresh, visceral quality and genuine drive. If there are a couple of false notes struck, it is nevertheless very impressive.
Moon over Buffalo
★★★☆☆ Comic capers:
A strong sense of purpose and plenty of pace ensure that Edinburgh Theatre Arts’ production of Moon Over Buffalo at St Ninian’s Church Hall is farcical for all the right reasons.
