What’s on Edinburgh’s Stages this week…
Good to see a really decent fist of involved drama from Edinburgh’s amateur companies on the stages this week, where they have no less than three plays and a musical on offer.
Water Fruit Loops
★★★☆☆ Engaging
Theatre Paradok’s Water Fruit Loops, at theSpace @ Niddry Street for the final week of the fringe, goes over well-trodden ground in a likeable manner.
Floodgate
★★★★☆ Surprising
Theatre Paradok’s Floodgate, at theSpace @ Niddry Street for the last week of the Fringe, is a confrontationally challenging examination of the possible effects of climate change.
EdFringe Theatre – Youth & Student companies
Edinburgh’s Youth and Student theatre companies at EdFringe:
As the fringe continues to grow, so does the input from Edinburgh-based companies. This year there are an unprecedented 93 different productions in the theatre section of the Fringe programme alone.
Rhinoceros
★★★☆☆ Interactive:
Theatre Paradok’s interpretation of Eugene Ionesco’s absurdist Rhinoceros at the Assembly Roxy is a bold attempt to bring the text into a modern setting.
Rhino Call Out
Open auditions for absurdist classic:
Theatre Paradok has issued an open call for its amateur production of Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco, to be staged at the Assembly Roxy this December, 2018.
EdFringe Theatre – Student companies
Edinburgh’s student & youth theatre companies on the Fringe:
There are more shows made by Edinburgh-based companies at this year’s fringe than all the shows at the 1972 Edinburgh fringe put together. This page lists all the theatre shows made by youth and student companies.
Paradok Casting Call
Open Call for EdFringe theatre production:
Edinburgh-based company Theatre Paradok has put out a casting call for its EdFringe 2018 production of Like Drowning, which will run during week three of the fringe, August 20 – 25.
Pomona
★★★☆☆ Mixed bag:
Flirting with darkness, Theatre Paradok’s Pomona – at Summerhall until Saturday – is well performed, but ultimately more staid than it first appears.
Bare Threads
★★★☆☆ Expressive experimentation:
Bare Threads, Theatre Paradok’s production at theSpace on Niddry Street, is often fascinating and occasionally beautiful.
