3d Theatricals’ Cinderella Call Out
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella November 2024

The Lady Vanishes
★★★☆☆ Magnificent hokum
The Lady Vanishes provides for an entertaining evening up at the Church Hill Theatre, where the Threepenny Theatricals draw on 1930s English sensibilities for this train-set period thriller.
The Herd
★★★☆☆ Ruminating
There is plenty to chew over in Threepenny Theatricals studied production of The Herd, by Rory Kinnear, at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday.
Leading not following
Threepenny Theatricals return with The Herd
Amateur company Threepenny Theatricals return to the Church Hill Theatre this week with four performances of actor Rory Kinnear’s first play, The Herd, from Thursday 15 to Saturday 17 September 2022.
Enchanted April
★★★★☆ Accomplished
There is a wistful nostalgia almost built in to Threepenny Theatricals’ Enchanted April, which is at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday.
Listings Mon 27 June – Sun 3 July
What’s on Edinburgh’s stages this week?
As the fallow summer period approaches – ahead of the glut of the Fringe in August, there is time to take note of some of the smaller productions coming our way.
The Hollow
★★★☆☆ Stately:
Huge care and attention has gone into the staging of Threepenny Theatricals’ version of Agatha Christie’s The Hollow. That care, however, does mean that there is a definite absence of energy in a production that never outstays its welcome but frequently threatens to.
Dear Brutus
★★★★☆ Old world charm:
Threepenny Theatricals’ Dear Brutus at the Church Hill is a resolutely odd piece, hugely uneven in tone, but discharged with such grace and skill that is compulsively watchable.
Barrie’s Midsummer reckoning
Threepenny Theatricals take on JM Barrie’s “Peter Pan for Adults”:
Edinburgh amateur company Threepenny Theatricals is stepping up a gear for its second outing as it brings JM Barrie’s Dear Brutus to the Church Hill Theatre for four performances from Thursday 7 Feb 2019.
Elephants
★★★★☆ Accomplished debut:
Some excellent acting distinguishes ‘festive black comedy’ Elephants from new company Threepenny Theatricals upstairs at the Roxy.
