Joe Christie
Macbeth: Without Words.
★★★☆☆ Bold:
Fresh and experimental, the Ludens Ensemble’s reimagining of the Scottish play is an Expressionist fantasia of sound, projection and movement.
Greater Belfast
✭✭✭✭✩ Evocative:
Matt Regan is a true man-of-the-people in Greater Belfast, his moving lyric for a city that could be.
The AniMotion Show: Peace – War
★★☆☆☆ Better in theory:
Boasting plenty of talent but lacking a clear drive, The AniMotion Show is an interesting multimedia experiment in Gilded Balloon at the Museum which gets lost in its own abstractions.
Spring Awakening
★★★★☆ Visceral:
Scuzzy and raw in all the right ways, Eusog’s take on the Rock musical version of Frank Wedenkind’s play about burgeoning youth sexuality has a vital edge to it.
Panti: High Heels in Low Places
✭✭✭✭✩ Sparkling:
Ireland’s reigning monarch sparkles in a performance at the Traverse which is often at odds with its all too civil format.
Crash
★★★☆☆ Alluring:
Andy Duffy’s elusive character study returns to the Traverse this weekend in a maelstrom of stocks, shares and self-loathing.
Rent
✭✭✭✭✩ Vibrant and affecting:
Brassy, colourful and oozing vitality, Edinburgh University Footlight’s production of Rent matches its good intentions with a high level of achievement.
Review – Scooby Panto and the Night of the Nutcracker! In 2D!
✭✭✭✩✩ Brazenly hazy:
Gosh, golly and crypes, Santa Claus has been kidnapped and not only have his dastardly kidnappers killed Scrappy Doo, but they have cancelled Christmas too!
