Greenside @ George Street
Hysterical
★★★★☆ Timely
A whirlwind time-travelling trawl through the history of five “mad” women and the history teacher who awakened their ghosts, koi collective’s Hysterical speaks truth to hysteria, and the many ways ordinary women have been maligned for stepping out of the narrowly defined boundaries society has erected for them.
In the Round
★★★★☆ Enthralling
In the Round by Yucca Dance at Greenside on George Street for the last week of the Fringe is a captivating exploration of the circles and cycles that shape our lives.
Covenant
★★★★☆ Dystopian
Covenant, written, directed and produced by Turning Point Theatre Company invites the audience to consider the possibility of a dystopian future in which control over women’s bodies is at an all-time high and existing legislation has been taken to an extreme position.
Checking In
★★★★☆ Captivating
Bringing a fresh energy to the many familiar fictional tropes that use death as a character is a tough job. However, Simply Surreal carries it off with ease in Checking In, a laugh out loud, pacey and thought-provoking two-hander written by Dougal Thomson and directed by Lisa McDonald.
