New Celts
Constellations
★★★☆☆ Needs more variety
There is a clever idea behind Constellations from ZOE and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile. Unfortunately, it is that very idea that prevents it from working as well as it might as a piece of theatre in this production.
Prick
★★★☆☆ Historic relevance
Light the Match and New Celts’ Prick at theSpace on the Mile is a production of considerable impact.
Happier Daze
★★★☆☆ Deeply felt
Happier Daze, from RIFF Theatre and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile, is an uneven production, with some problems in its staging but a great deal of heart.
Kingdom
★★★☆☆ Cheerful
Lunar Theatre Company and New Celts’ Kingdom at theSpace on the Mile has a vitality and sense of fun that wins out over a portrait over a future Scotland that does not always come off.
The Rejects
★★★★☆ Intelligently comic
There is huge promise in both the writing and the performing of The Rejects, from Shark Bait Theatre and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile.
Things To Do in Mull
★★★☆☆ Humorous
Things To Do In Mull from Agree to Disagree Theatre and New Celts, at theSpace on the Mile, makes up for in charm for what it lacks in depth.
Graveyard Of The Outcast Dead
★★★★☆ Engaging
The relationships between past and present, and how even the unremembered are never truly forgotten, are explored intelligently, emotionally and tunefully in Graveyard Of The Outcast Dead by Kira Mason.
Strays
★★★☆☆ Toxic apocalypse
There is a fierce energy to Strays from Broken Bottle and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile that compensates for minor problems in the narrative.
Jane/Norma
★★★☆☆ Timely
Jane/Norma, by Viewpoint and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile, is a timely and hard-hitting piece of two-handed verbatim theatre from writer-director Kiera Bell.
Twenty People a Minute
★★★★★ Triumphant
Politically aware, poetically staged, and displaying understanding of both people and theatre, Twenty People a Minute (from Arthur & Redpath and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile) is nothing short of a triumph.
