Laughing Horse
The Devil Went Down to Gorgie
★★★☆☆ Nae fearties
New grassroots company Pasuz Productions play everything just about right for their debut production, The Devil Went Down to Gorgie a piece of comedy horror framed in a dreadful office-workers bonding day, playing the West Port Oracle for the final week of the Fringe.
Frighthouse Presents: The Wheel Of Misfortune
★★★☆☆ Comically disturbing
Part of the Laughing Horse Free Festival, The Wheel Of Misfortune is a horror-comedy which gives a bizarre account of various creepy tales, think Goosebumps tinged by The League of Gentlemen.
Down It Fresher!
★★★☆☆ Down & dirty:
Sassy, rude and distinctly scuzzy round the edges, the Anonymous Badger Creative’s production of Down It Fresher! in the Free Fringe is a case of writing what you know about.
Corydon Ovium
★★★☆☆ Not baad:
Corydon Ovium, Nightmare Productions’ comedy horror anthology downstairs at the Newsroom, is a decidedly hit-and-miss affair that makes up in gleeful energy for what it lacks in polish.
Daniel Sinclair
✭✭✭✭✩ All in the Mind:
When two people meet on a park bench in this late-night, free fringe production, it is apparent from the blood and bruises on the young man that something is awry.
La Nina Barro
✭✭✭✩✩ A feminine awakening
What does it mean to be a woman? And how do women form their ideas of self awareness? Edinburgh-based Fronteiras Theatre Lab explores these notions in an original, physical, transcultural performance at the Free Fringe Festival.
