Alma, a Human Voice, Summerhall, review
August 21, 2018
A decadent retelling of a tormented love story that combines theatre and drag at Summerhall, Alma, a Human Voice is a unique and refined piece by a seasoned Italian company. Nina’s Drag Queens invite us to step …
Extinguished Things, Summerhall, review
August 20, 2018
Taylor's knack for direct address, and observant writing, makes Extinguished Things compelling - but the second half of the text meanders and loses momentum. Molly Taylor's self-penned Extinguished Things starts brilliantly. Whilst solo shows may be anything but …
Virgin, theSpace @ Surgeons Hall, review

Bucket Men, C Royale, review
August 16, 2018
An absurdist play with socio-political undertones and potential, Fear No Colours' Bucket Men creates an uncanny world that could go even weirder. The world of Bucket Men is white, sterile, uncannily ordered. There are two white chairs …
Behind Our Skin, C Aquila, review
August 15, 2018
Touching upon the important topics of white privilege and immigration, YOSIS's Behind Our Skin is admirable in its endevour - but somewhat problematic in its final product. French company YOSIS's promotional photo for Behind Our Skin displays two …
No Sanction, Greenside @ Nicolson Square, review
August 14, 2018
MY COMPLEX's No Sanction has a worthy premise and asks one exceptionally thought-provoking question, but as a whole, fails to deliver. I'd argue Japanese company MY COMPLEX present No Sanction as something it's not in the …
