The Fastest Clock in the Universe
★★★★☆ Febrile
EGTG drill down deep into the vicious heart of Philip Ridley’s The Fastest Clock in the Universe, in a production at the Assembly Roxy which never goes quite where you expect it to.
Copenhagen
★★★★☆ Stimulating and engaging
In Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen at the Assembly Roxy, Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group tackle a difficult, sometimes impenetrable, play with intelligence and skill.
frisson (in a bar)
★★★☆☆ Warm and caring
Production Lines’ frisson (in a bar) continues to look at the lives of three of the four people that were first seen via Zoom in last week’s frisson (online) and introduces three new characters.
frisson (online)
★★★☆☆ Cunning exploration
frisson (online) by Production Lines is “a coming out story in two parts”, with the first told online over Zoom this week, and the second due to be performed live in the Leith Arches next week.
prism
★★★☆☆ Intriguing
prism, Production Lines’ latest venture into live, interactive online theatre, is very much a curate’s egg. Much of it is interesting and well played, but other parts are less well realised.
Through a prism remotely
Online, immersive show from Production Lines
Edinburgh grass roots theatre company Production Lines is to stage prism, a new interactive and immersive play by Claire Wood, running online from Wednesday 2 to Saturday 5 February 2022.
roulette
★★★☆☆ Frothy
roulette, Production Lines’ latest foray into online theatre, makes excellent use of technology. If it is unaware of exactly where it is heading, there is considerable enjoyment to be had along the way.
Love theatre – live
Live online perfs for roulette premiere
Production Lines is to premiere Claire Wood’s racy new play, roulette, live – and online – for Valentines, with the Edinburgh grassroots company streaming five performances this weekend (13/14 Feb 2021) and next.
All About My Mother
★★★☆☆ Ambitious:
Clever in its staging and ambitious in scope, the EGTG’s Scottish premiere of All About My Mother, at the Roxy to Saturday, provides plenty to satisfy but a certain amount of confusion along the way.
Almodovar on stage
Scottish premiere of Almodovar adaptation:
When All About My Mother opens at the Assembly Roxy this week, it will be the culmination of a decade-long mission from director Ross Hope to bring the stage adaptation to Scotland.
