Norman Robbins
Hansel and Gretel
★★★☆☆ Refreshing
What larks are to be had up at the Inverleith St Serf’s Church Centre this week, where the St Serf’s Players are staging Norman Robbins’s pantomime adaptation of Hansel and Gretel.
A Tomb With A View
★★★☆☆ Ridiculous
Cheerfully ludicrous and staged with considerable craft, Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s production of A Tomb With A View is thoroughly entertaining.
Tomb Hopping
EPT get farcical with Norman Robbins

There is plenty to enjoy in St Serf’s Players’ take on one of the oldest pantomimes of all, The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose. However, despite some pleasing traditional elements, it is missing that sparkle of fairy dust that makes panto so enjoyable.
Review – Hickory Dickory Dock
It’s a race against the clock in this year’s pantomime at St Serf’s up in Goldenacre, where the St Serf’s Players put in a fun-filled show with Hickory Dickory Dock.
Æ Review – Humpty Dumpty
* * * Church Hill Theatre By Thom Dibdin Plenty of bad yolks and lots of scrambled song lyrics make for some cracking good entertainment in the Edinburgh People’s Theatre pantomime version of Humpty Dumpty up at the Church Hill Theatre. Not to mention of flock of young chickens from the Mandy Black School of […]
Theatre Review – Prescription For Murder
★★★☆☆ Rollicking whodunt Church Hill Theatre. October 2010 Review by Thom Dibdin Packed with enough red herrings to keep a kingdom in kippers, Edinburgh People’s Theatre’s production of Norman Robbins’ rollicking whodunit rattles along at a great pace.
