Greta Abbey
It’s a Sheet Show
★★★★☆ Strong debut
It’s a Sheet Show, Fools and Thieves Fringe debut in a coproduction with The Counterminers, is set in and around a bed. However, there’s nothing tired about the play – or the production – as a series of short scenes track a relationship from its early moments to its demise in a little over fifty minutes.
Mother Clap’s Molly House
★★★★☆ Gloriously vulgar
The EUTC deliver a fully frank and deliciously frivolous take on Mother Clap’s Molly House, Mark Ravenhill’s dark comedy with songs, which plays the Bedlam to Saturday.
The Taming of the Shrew
★★★★☆ Lively
Edinburgh University Shakespeare Company’s production of The Taming of the Shrew at the Pleasance is a witty and intelligent take on an endlessly troubling play.
Hersterectomy
★★★☆☆ Promising
Edinburgh based theatre collective The Counterminers explore female reproductive rights in Hersterectomy, their new devised piece, performing somewhat appropriately in a venue that is reminiscent of a womb.
