In celebration of the Public House
★★★★☆ Virtually strong:
The Leith-based Village Pub Theatre made a welcome return on Friday evening by virtue of virtual meeting platform, Zoom, for a live performance of seven sparkling new plays, performed script-in-hand.
Thunderstruck
★★★☆☆ Tuneful Excursion:
Thunderstruck by David Colvin at Assembly Checkpoint is a deeply felt and human tale, whose relationship with its source and inspiration nevertheless makes for some uncertain moments.
Review – Preen Back Yer Lugs!
Preen Back Yer Lugs! is a gloriously rumbustious ensemble piece at the Pleasance Dome from Svenska Teatern, mixing scattergun political and linguistic satire with unashamed silliness.
First view – Puss In Boots
Picture Special from the Brunton Panto
