- [Lear](https://www.theatrescotland.com/lear/) - The Guardian 10 July 2026 You know when you walk into a room then forget why you came in? Maureen Beattie does that at the start of this gender-swapped version of Shakespeare’s tragedy. She strides on, catches herself, half wanders back, turns on her heels and goes out another way altogether. A little later, she
- [Inexperience](https://www.theatrescotland.com/inexperience/) - The Guardian 20 June 2026 There is a clever conceit underlying Douglas Maxwell’s sparky romantic comedy. It imagines the possibility of a sexually charged relationship being sustained without physical contact. Played out on stage, this improbable idea hits home on two levels. Meeting at a 21st birthday party in 1995, two students – one law,
- [Cry/Laugh](https://www.theatrescotland.com/cry-laugh/) - The Guardian 18 June 2026 We are in a medieval world of portentous comets, fiery dragons and punitive taxes. For the average peasant, it is tough going, but even in this hierarchical society, two of them have uncommon access to power. One is the town crier, the mediator of news between monarch and serf. The
- [The Long Drop](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-long-drop/) - The Guardian 12 June 2026 On the bare brick wall backing Jen McGinley’s set – half courtroom, half saloon – there is a faded poster of The Searchers, John Ford’s 1956 western. The whisky-swilling hard men who haunt the clubs and dives of The Long Drop may well see themselves as cowboys. They are double

- [Once](https://www.theatrescotland.com/once/) - The Guardian 29 May 2026 When Once opened on Broadway in 2012, later to enjoy a run in London’s West End, it was greeted with a degree of surprise. You can see why. In terms of the Great White Way, it is an anti-musical. Based on the 2007 film by John Carney, with a book
- [Revolution Days](https://www.theatrescotland.com/revolution-days/) - The Guardian 22 May 2026 In less volatile times, the memory of the Arab spring would be fresh in our minds. But with the Iran war already stealing attention from Gaza (let alone Ukraine), you may forget the intensity of the revolutionary wave across north Africa and the Middle East 15 years ago. That was
- [Black Diamonds and the Blue Brazil](https://www.theatrescotland.com/black-diamonds-and-the-blue-brazil-2/) - The Guardian 14 May 2026 Black diamonds are what they used to dig up from the Fife coalfields. The Blue Brazil is the unlikely nickname of Cowdenbeath football club. Together, in the 1993 book by Ron Ferguson, they represent the bittersweet hopes of a downtrodden town: the coal that brought work, fatal accidents and unemployment;
- [Sunset Boulevard: The Backstage Cut](https://www.theatrescotland.com/sunset-boulevard-the-backstage-cut/) - The Guardian 12 May 2026 Over the past decade or so, Morag Fullarton has been developing a popular line in bijou Hollywood adaptations. With a camp flourish and a multitasking cast, the writer and director has boiled down favourites including Casablanca and It’s a Wonderful Life. She last had a crack at Sunset Boulevard, then
- [Stand & Deliver: The Lee Jeans Sit-In](https://www.theatrescotland.com/stand-deliver-the-lee-jeans-sit-in/) - The Guardian 29 April 2026 It was the early days of the Thatcher project. At the start of 1981, the free-market chill was about to lay waste to the Linwood car plant, Bobby Sands was beginning his fatal hunger strike and formerly militant unions were feeling cowed by the implications of the 1980 Employment Act.
- [Stand & Deliver: The Lee Jeans Sit-In preview](https://www.theatrescotland.com/stand-deliver-the-lee-jeans-sit-in-preview/) - Scotland on Sunday 15 April 2026 As coming-of-age stories go, it takes some beating. Maggie Wallace was just 20 and working as a machinist in the Lee Jeans factory in Greenock when she and her fellow workers took a dramatic form of industrial action. Outraged by the plan by the American owner, the Vanity Fair
- [Gush](https://www.theatrescotland.com/gush/) - The Guardian 15 April 2026 There are few transitions in life more profound than becoming a parent. Out go late nights and long lie-ins. In comes responsibility. It is an experience that demands redefinition, turning you from cared-for to carer, solo player to team captain. Even as it approaches, you know it will change you.
- [The High Life: The Musical, Still Living It!](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-high-life-the-musical-still-living-it/) - The Guardian 3 April 2026 If someone tells you this musical spin-off from the cult 1994 TV sitcom is like a pantomime, they won’t just mean the jokes. Having been written by Johnny McKnight and the series creators, Alan Cumming and Forbes Masson, it is, of course, top-loaded with gags. They tumble out in a
- [What I'm Here For](https://www.theatrescotland.com/what-im-here-for/) - The Guardian 2 April 2026 The standard colour scheme for hospital dramas is clinical white. You expect gleaming walls and antiseptic surfaces, institutionally bright. Mai Katsume takes the opposite tack. In this co-production between Vanishing Point from Glasgow and Teater Katapult from Aarhus, Denmark, the designer dresses nurses, doctors and patients in black and lines
- [Trainspotting the Musical](https://www.theatrescotland.com/trainspotting-the-musical/) - The Guardian 24 March 2026 It has been a book, a play and a film. It has also spawned three sequels, a prequel and two soundtrack albums. Now, Irvine Welsh’s 1993 debut novel Trainspotting is to find new life as a musical. Opening at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London in July, Trainspotting the Musical
- [The Legend of Davie McKenzie](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-legend-of-davie-mckenzie/) - The Guardian 5 March 2026 The title is ironic. There is nothing legendary about Davie McKenzie. Scarcely out of prison after doing time for possession, the fictional hero of this lunchtime play ends up dead, having scored a batch of tainted drugs. It is three days before anyone even notices. That sounds like a spoiler,
- [Waiting for Godot](https://www.theatrescotland.com/waiting-for-godot/) - The Guardian 26 February 2026 Productions of Samuel Beckett’s modernist classic often evoke the world of music hall. The duelling routines of Vladimir and Estragon recall the banter of old-time vaudeville acts. A sequence of hat-swapping could have come straight from Laurel and Hardy. Echoes of that remain in Dominic Hill’s staging, a co-production with the
- [Someone's Knockin' at the Door](https://www.theatrescotland.com/someones-knockin-at-the-door/) - The Guardian 25 February 2026 Milly Sweeney is a young writer gaining traction. Staged in Pitlochry last year, her play Water Colour, about the changing states of mind of two Glaswegians, earned her the Stage debut award for best writer. Here, she kicks off the lunchtime spring season of A Play, a Pie and a
- [Saint Joan](https://www.theatrescotland.com/saint-joan/) - The Guardian 23 February 2026 When George Bernard Shaw’s play was about to open at what is now the Noël Coward theatre, the critic of the Times worried that the playwright would use the story of Saint Joan as an excuse for politicking. Shaw, they wrote, “occasionally delights to criticise the present through the past”.
- [Beauty and the Beast](https://www.theatrescotland.com/beauty-and-the-beast-2/) - The Guardian 8 December 2025 It is rare for a family show to be both funny and spine-tinglingly creepy, but an achievement playwright Lewis Hetherington pulls off in his imaginative reworking of the 18th-century fable. You would expect one to cancel out the other, but here the narrative cracks forward with such certainty, you can afford
- [Jack and the Beanstalk](https://www.theatrescotland.com/jack-and-the-beanstalk-2/) - The Guardian 5 December 2025 Do not be misled by the title. This is a takeover. Not only has this Jack and the Beanstalk gone from fairy story to panto to musical, but Jack has been relegated to second billing. To be accurate, this “new moooosical” by Jonathan O’Neill and Isaac Savage should be called
- [Aladdie](https://www.theatrescotland.com/aladdie/) - The Guardian 31 November 2025 Who needs a flying carpet when you’ve got the bus to Maybole? The high point of Fraser Boyle’s joyful panto comes when Abanazar (Gavin Jon Wright) leaks the location of his not-so-secret lair and the rest of the cast go in pursuit. On public transport. On film. Outside broadcasting was
- [Gallus in Weegieland](https://www.theatrescotland.com/gallus-in-weegieland/) - The Guardian 23 November 2025 More than the odd playwright has discovered to their cost that Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is harder to adapt than they might suppose. Yes, Lewis Carroll’s children’s classic is rich in novelty, wit and delight. But yes, too, its structure is episodic and its protagonist lacks agency. Stuff just happens
- [Trolleydarity: the NTS show offering hospital patients 'scratch n sniff staycations'](https://www.theatrescotland.com/trolleydarity-the-nts-show-offering-hospital-patients-scratch-n-sniff-staycations/) - Scotland on Sunday 29 October 2025 The latest production by the National Theatre of Scotland (NTS) sounds a hoot. But if you want to see it, there is a catch. First, you need to check yourself into Edinburgh’s Western General. It is called Trolleydarity and it can only be seen in hospital. Supported by Tonic
- [A Piano Full of Feathers](https://www.theatrescotland.com/a-piano-full-of-feathers/) - The Guardian 26 October 2025 The piano is full of feathers to keep the noise down. Irving Berlin liked to write at night and the feathers were his way to dampen the strings so as not to annoy the neighbours. It is also full of feathers, in Jane Livingstone’s play about the writing and impact
- [The Seagull](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-seagull/) - The Guardian 16 October 2025 It is quite something when Caroline Quentin dominates the stage. Quite something, because of the competition. One of the great strengths of this rewarding production – the first to be staged by James Brining since he became artistic director – is its sharp characterisation. Every one of Chekhov’s frustrated figures,
- [The Glass Menagerie](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-glass-menagerie/) - The Guardian 9 October 2025 Christopher Jordan-Marshall breathes the evening into life. Gliding into the auditorium with the house lights up, he appears as Tom Wingfield, the narrator of Tennessee Williams’s sad, autobiographical play. He meets us on our own ground and points out the artifice: behind the curtain a memory play of uncertain authority.
- [Maybe Tomorrow](https://www.theatrescotland.com/maybe-tomorrow/) - The Guardian 7 October 2025 Imagine spending a career wanting to play the lead in Annie, to eventually realise you are only good for Miss Hannigan. That is the fate of Sian Silver. Played with verve by Liz Ewing, sporting more sequins than is medically safe, she is a 75-year-old singer whose seasons in the
- [Night Waking](https://www.theatrescotland.com/night-waking/) - The Guardian 2 October 2025 Novelist Sarah Moss has expressed surprise at the relative lack of literature about parenthood. We are all children of someone, many of us parents too, and she finds it odd that so few representations of such a common experience exist. In her 2011 novel Night Waking, she combines the story
- [Cheapo](https://www.theatrescotland.com/cheapo/) - The Guardian 1 October 2025 There is an unexpected inversion in Katy Nixon’s two-hander that creates a special tension. When we meet her, Kyla MacDougall has a frightening self-assurance. Played by Yolanda Mitchell, she is teasing, provocative and mercurial. It is all her nerdy classmate Jamie Sheldon can do to answer in complete sentences. Played
- [Black Hole Sign](https://www.theatrescotland.com/black-hole-sign/) - The Guardian 24 September 2025 A black hole sign is the dark area of a CT scan that suggests a haemorrhage on the brain. A black hole could also be the gap that has opened up in the ceiling of a windowless A&E department, where a drip becomes a torrent, a metaphor for a crumbling
- [Small Acts of Love](https://www.theatrescotland.com/small-acts-of-love/) - The Guardian 15 September 2025 What a joy to hear applause again in the Citz. The theatre’s seven-year renovation has been hard. In that time, many have been lost, including the victims of the pandemic and, only last month, the mighty Giles Havergal , the company’s artistic director from 1969 to 2003. Fitting, then, that
- [Our Brother](https://www.theatrescotland.com/our-brother/) - The Guardian 10 September 2025 If you met a genocidal dictator how would you react? For the Scottish academic who is granted an audience with Cambodia’s Pol Pot in Jack MacGregor’s play, the first encounter leaves him blandly upbeat. “He seems quite nice,” he tells his friend, a sceptical American journalist. His naivety verges on
- [A Toast fae the Lassies](https://www.theatrescotland.com/a-toast-fae-the-lassies/) - The Guardian 31 August 2025 Safe to say that Agnes Broun, Jean Armour and the woman known only as Clarinda never met at the grave of Robert Burns to commemorate his birthday. Even safer to say that had mother, wife and upper-class lover had such a meeting, they would not have spent the time filling
- [The Great Gatsby](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-great-gatsby/) - The Guardian 31 August 2025 The revealing thing about Sarah Brigham’s production of the F Scott Fitzgerald classic is the way it keeps erupting into dance. Any time things threaten to get serious in this new adaptation by Elizabeth Newman, the band strikes up, the silvery frocks come out and the stage is alive with the charleston
- [Wallace](https://www.theatrescotland.com/wallace/) - The Guardian 26 August 2025 If you were to come up with a list of the Scottish playwrights least likely to write a musical about William Wallace, Rob Drummond’s name might be somewhere near the top. Musicals about icons of Scottish history have no more been his thing than plays about bagpipes and Highland cows.
- [Windblown](https://www.theatrescotland.com/windblown/) - The Guardian 10 August 2025 If you thought there could not be a more Edinburgh-centric show than James Graham’s Make It Happen, with its appearances from Adam Smith and figures from the city’s once great banks, well think again. In Windblown, Karine Polwart commemorates an Edinburgh institution of similar longevity. And she does it exquisitely.
- [When Billy Met Alasdair](https://www.theatrescotland.com/when-billy-met-alasdair/) - The Guardian 9 August 2025 There is a scene in Alasdair Gray’s landmark novel Lanark in which the author himself makes an appearance. He startles the eponymous hero, one of the book’s twin protagonists, by explaining he is a work of fiction. It is an authorial intervention too brazen for Alan Bissett to ignore. In
- [She's Behind You](https://www.theatrescotland.com/shes-behind-you/) - The Guardian 5 August 2025 She stands before us in a blue gingham frock, towering wig and a “hideous yet age-appropriate leisure shoe”. She is Dorothy Blawna-Gale and she is a pantomime dame. The creation of Johnny McKnight – Scotland’s finest proponent of the form – she is sharp-tongued, lascivious and bumptiously lovable. Unlike her usual
- [Kanpur: 1857](https://www.theatrescotland.com/kanpur-1857/) - The Guardian 1 August 2025 When it comes to cruel and unusual punishment, it is hard to think of anything more grizzly than that meted out by the British army in Kanpur (then anglicised as Cawnpore) in retribution for the 19th-century Indian uprising against colonial occupation. Having been rounded up, each ringleader was tied to
- [Reopening of the Citizens Theatre](https://www.theatrescotland.com/reopening-of-the-citizens-theatre/) - The List 5 July 2025 Where were we? Oh, yes. It was April 2018 and the Citizens Theatre was rounding off its in-house spring season with Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night. It was a cracking show, with an explosive George Costigan as the patriarchal James Tyrone, marking yet another tough, intelligent production by
- [Man's Best Friend](https://www.theatrescotland.com/mans-best-friend/) - The Guardian 27 June 2025 A few blocks down the road on Argyle Street, a stall is promoting conspiracy theories about AstraZeneca. Every side is pasted with neurotic headlines misinforming passersby about vaccines. It is an odd, not to mention dangerous, throwback to the pandemic. So, too, in its own benign way, is Douglas Maxwell’s
- [Edinburgh festival 2025: 20 theatre shows to see this summer](https://www.theatrescotland.com/edinburgh-festival-2025-20-theatre-shows-to-see-this-summer/) - The Guardian 20 June 2025 Peter Pan has a pop fantasy, Faustus is in Africa, Brian Cox leads a banking satire and Billy Connolly meets the late Alasdair Gray. Elsewhere, the joy of pickling, a landmark jazz album and Elton John’s libel case take centre stage [READ MORE]
- [Nan Shepherd: Naked and Unashamed](https://www.theatrescotland.com/nan-shepherd-naked-and-unashamed-2/) - The Guardian 7 June 2025 The title comes from a short story about two hikers on a camping trip. They decide to cast off their clothes and walk through the countryside as nature intended, only to be mistaken for poachers. The story’s combination of humour, transgression and ear for the Doric dialect of north-east Scotland
- [Edinburgh International Children's Festival 2025](https://www.theatrescotland.com/edinburgh-international-childrens-festival-2025/) - The Guardian 28 May 2025 If you think Peter Pan had problems with his shadow, you should see what Tangram Kollektiv have to contend with. In the German-French company’s clever and understated Shades of Shadows, performers Sarah Chaudon and Clara Palau y Herrero find themselves in a landscape where shadows refuse to behave. Staged in
- [Keli review](https://www.theatrescotland.com/keli-review/) - The Guardian, 16 May 2025 Towards the end of Martin Green’s brass-infused play for the National Theatre of Scotland, there is a resonant metaphor. It makes the connection between directing the breath to play a wind instrument and dealing with life’s stresses. “The skill is in controlling that pressure,” says Keli, a 17-year-old tenor horn
- [Studio3](https://www.theatrescotland.com/studio3/) - The Guardian 1 May 2025 If you were the gambling kind, you would have hedged your bets on A Play, a Pie and a Pint. What chance of survival would a lunchtime theatre have, especially one committed to staging 30 new plays a year, not to mention throwing in food and drink for the price of
- [Restless Natives](https://www.theatrescotland.com/restless-natives/) - The Guardian 30 April 2025 One of the stories British cinema loves to tell is of working-class characters defeating the privations of Thatcherism using wit and creativity. In Brassed Off (1996), escape came in the form of communal music; in The Full Monty (1997), it was male striptease; and in Billy Elliot (2000), the romance
- [Lau's Martin Green on Keli](https://www.theatrescotland.com/laus-martin-green-on-keli/) - Scotland on Sunday 24 April 2025 Whappens when a composer becomes a playwright? Take the case of Martin Green. He is the accordionist best known for his work with Lau, the nu-folk band he plays in with Kris Drever and Aidan O’Rourke. He is also something of a multi-hyphenate. In the 2016 Edinburgh International Festival,
- [Through the Shortbread Tin review](https://www.theatrescotland.com/through-the-shortbread-tin-review/) - The Guardian 7 April 2025 Martin O’Connor calls it “the first Outlander effect”. He is thinking about how an image of a country catches on and, factual or otherwise, comes to define it. Just as the sexed-up Highland romance of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander projected a view of Scotland with questionable historical grounding so, in 1760,
- [Dancing Shoes](https://www.theatrescotland.com/dancing-shoes/) - The Guardian 26 March 2025 Your standard group-therapy drama involves people sitting in a circle revealing the trauma that put them on the path to addiction. Playwrights Stephen Christopher and Graeme Smith are having none of that. Any time someone threatens us with a backstory in this funny and heartening three-hander, they halt the action
- [Nessie](https://www.theatrescotland.com/nessie/) - The Guardian 24 March 2025 It is the UK’s largest body of fresh water, its volume totalling more than all the lakes of England and Wales combined. It is also the UK’s greatest source of daft stories. For the best part of a century, Loch Ness has used its monster-adjacent status not only to finance
- [Through the Shortbread Tin](https://www.theatrescotland.com/through-the-shortbread-tin/) - The Scotsman 18 March 2025 When Martin O’Connor first talked to director Lu Kemp about his latest play, he thought she was using some unfamiliar theatrical terminology. What she liked about the script, she told him, was its “versioning”. Perhaps she had coined the word, perhaps she had borrowed it; either way, it works well
- [Wild Rose](https://www.theatrescotland.com/wild-rose-2/) - The Guardian 16 March 2025 If you can’t be sentimental in a show about country music, when can you be? The most affecting moments in this big-hearted musical come when tough talking gives way to tenderness. Like the genre itself, Wild Rose is forthright, vibrant and emotionally raw. Wittily adapted by Nicole Taylor from her
- [Death of a Salesman](https://www.theatrescotland.com/death-of-a-salesman/) - The Guardian 9 March 2025 He lies to gain status. His every deal is transactional. He exaggerates for effect. He is seduced by money, deluded about his importance and clearly going to leave his sons with a father complex. Yet Willy Loman is no president. The ordinary guy at the centre of Arthur Miller’s 1949
- [The Rainbow](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-rainbow/) - The Guardian 3 April 2025 Adapting a novel is rarely straightforward and playwright Nicola Werenowska takes a particularly enterprising stab at it in her version of the DH Lawrence classic. Where this multigenerational novel luxuriates in lengthy interior monologues, full of poetic meditations, sexual longing and self-questioning, Werenowska pulls the focus sharply on its three
- [Confessions of a Shinagawa Monkey](https://www.theatrescotland.com/confessions-of-a-shinagawa-monkey/) - The Guardian 23 February 2025 Mizuki Ando has a distressing condition. Played by Rin Nasu, she is not a demonstrative woman, but insists on finding a cure. Referred to a counsellor, she describes her only symptom: she cannot remember her name. Elicia Daly’s empathetic therapist takes her seriously. “Without a name we’re nothing,” she says.
- [A View from the Bridge](https://www.theatrescotland.com/a-view-from-the-bridge/) - The Guardian 26 February 2025 Is it an innocent domestic moment or a portent of something more ominous? It happens early enough in Jemima Levick’s thrilling production – her debut as the Tron’s artistic director – to leave some doubt. But when Mark Holgate’s Eddie Carbone emerges from the onstage shower, his torso glistening as
- [The Merchant of Venice](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-merchant-of-venice/) - The Guardian 23 January 2025 He likes a bit of a laugh, this Shylock. Played with cool authority by John Douglas Thompson in a suit that blends with the grey concrete of Riccardo Hernandez’s brutalist set, he is even-tempered and jovial. Whether he is a “villain with a smiling cheek”, as Antonio characterises him, is
- [Treasure Island](https://www.theatrescotland.com/treasure-island/) - The Guardian 2 December 2024 Who is the protagonist of Robert Louis Stevenson’s adventure story? The obvious answer is Jim Hawkins, the innkeeper’s son who is drawn into a high-seas escapade complete with piracy and plundering. One minute he is helping with the customers, the next he is setting sail in search of buried treasure.
- [Peter Panto and the Incredible Stinkerbell](https://www.theatrescotland.com/peter-panto-and-the-incredible-stinkerbell/) - The Guardian 27 November 2024 I seen regular productions of Peter Pan that treat the death of Tinker Bell more casually than it is handled here by writer, director and star Johnny McKnight. Yes, the fairy’s final moments are over-the-top – not a twitch of a limb unmilked – but it is with some sense
- [The Sound of Music](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-sound-of-music/) - The Guardian 21 November 2024 Elizabeth Newman’s six-year tenure as Pitlochry’s artistic director has been characterised by a spirit of generosity and an urge to connect. As Mother Abbess says of Maria in The Sound of Music, Newman has a “great capacity to love”. Which makes it all the more fitting that her parting shot
- [There's a Place](https://www.theatrescotland.com/theres-a-place/) - The Scotsman 8 October 2024 In Perth Theatre’s rehearsal room, they have made a display of early-1960s paraphernalia. It is to get the cast in the mood for There’s A Place, a new play by Gabriel Quigley set exactly 60 years ago when The Beatles enjoyed a brief holiday on the banks of Loch Earn.
- [Thank U, Next](https://www.theatrescotland.com/thank-u-next/) - The Scotsman 1 October 2024 If someone talked to you about bubblegum goth, would you know what they were on about? How about dark academia or angel-core? Would they be on any safer ground with coconut girl or Christian autumn girl? My guess is not. Unless, that is, you are of the generation for whom
- [Anna/Anastasia](https://www.theatrescotland.com/anna-anastasia/) - The Guardian 1 October 2024 Anastasia is attempting to look regal in her mother’s tiara and her father’s military medals. Beneath her tunic, however, she wears no trousers. The look reflects her state of mind: in her head, she is the only remaining member of the imperial Romanov family, a survivor of a Bolshevik firing
- [To Save the Sea review](https://www.theatrescotland.com/to-save-the-sea-review/) - The Guardian 29 September 2024 This time last year, Just Stop Oil protestors interrupted a performance of Les Misérables. They reasoned a musical about rebellion was the right place to protest about the impending climate catastrophe. To Save the Sea is also a musical about resistance, but there is no cause for a skirmish. It
- [To Save the Sea](https://www.theatrescotland.com/to-save-the-sea/) - The Scotsman 16 September 2024 When you think about musical-theatre writing partnerships, you imagine earnest young people hunched over a piano in the Brill Building, batting musical phrases and lyrical ideas across the keys. You picture them living and breathing every moment together until the score is complete. That was not how things were for
- [Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me](https://www.theatrescotland.com/last-night-i-dreamt-that-somebody-loved-me/) - The Scotsman 10 September 2024 Seven years ago, David Paul Jones performed a Valentine’s day gig in the Barony Bar on Edinburgh’s Broughton Street. The pianist put together a compilation of romantic songs he would sing for the occasion. In the run-up to the performance, his friend Ben Harrison, best known as the co-artistic director
- [The Brenda Line review](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-brenda-line-review/) - The Guardian 23 August 2024 This entertaining debut by Harry Mould alights on a curious historical detail. As part of its commitment to listen to everyone without judgment, the Samaritans used to keep its lines open to what it referred to as “telephone masturbators”. Between 1972 and 1987, any man who called the service asking
- [A Play, a Pie and a Pint, autumn 2024](https://www.theatrescotland.com/a-play-a-pie-and-a-pint-autumn-2024/) - The Scotsman 19 August 2024 Last year, when Laila Noble joined the team as a resident director at Glasgow’s lunchtime theatre, A Play, A Pie And A Pint, on a Marilyn Imrie Fellowship, she was supposed to stay for three months. She clearly did something right because when her boss Jemima Levick announced her departure
- [Chemo Savvy](https://www.theatrescotland.com/chemo-savvy/) - The Guardian 19 August 2024 What a lovely thing to have done. When the great actor Andy Gray was being treated for leukaemia before his Covid-related death in 2020, his friends agreed to stage a play inspired by his time in hospital. Hearing their plan, the nurses imposed one condition: it had to be funny.
- [Precious Cargo](https://www.theatrescotland.com/precious-cargo/) - The Guardian 11 August 2024 The accents on the voiceovers say it all. We hear southern English, Australian, American and Hebridean. One thing links them: these are the grownup voices of the orphans who were flown out of South Vietnam as part of “operation babylift” at the end of the Vietnam war in 1975. Placed
- [Ian Rankin on Rebus: A Game Called Malice](https://www.theatrescotland.com/ian-rankin-on-rebus-a-game-called-malice/) - The Scotsman 8 August 2024 Ian Rankin sells novels by the crateload and is riding the wave of television stardom thanks to Gregory Burke’s hard-hitting Rebus adaptation. The Edinburgh author, however, also has a soft spot for the theatre. You might imagine a man who can count small-screen audiences in the tens of millions to
- [So Young](https://www.theatrescotland.com/so-young/) - The Guardian 8 August 2024 Instead of Chekhov’s gun, we have Maxwell’s whisky. The bottle of Japanese spirits shows up early in Douglas Maxwell’s comedy of social awkwardness and at some point someone is going to pull the stopper out. What is surprising is how it happens. So Young shows every sign of heading for

In the words of Harlan Howard, it is about “three chords and the truth”. Actor Charlene Boyd has applied the same principle to her bold and exposing one-woman play. It is less a show about June Carter Cash than

- [Michel Tremblay: Plays in Scots](https://www.theatrescotland.com/michel-tremblay-plays-in-scots/) - Critical Stages 8 July 2024 It was not a phrase I dwelt over.

Having premiered last year, the show hit the road three months ago and toured

- [Footloose](https://www.theatrescotland.com/footloose/) - The Scotsman 13 May 2024 Footloose is remembered as the heart-throb musical that was not Dirty Dancing. It was the one that cemented the reputation of a 26-year-old Kevin Bacon, with his white T-shirt, tight jeans and $1500 spiky haircut. “The energy raised during the finger-snapping dance numbers is infectious,” said one reviewer. Bacon played

Fingers spindly, hair swept back, black cloak voluminous, she possesses the ability to pop up at will on Kenneth MacLeod’s crepuscular set of gantries, ladders and ramps. She radiates power. Yet in Morna Pearson’s retelling of the Bram Stoker novel for the National Theatre

By necessity, they are performed by actors, but to be convincing, those actors have to look and sound like musicians. More than that, the songs must be authentic – either as good or as bad as the narrative needs them

That is a phrase used repeatedly by Mamoru Iriguchi and co-star Gavin Pringle in What You See When Your Eyes Are Closed/What You Don’t See When Your Eyes Are Open (★★★★☆).

It is in the stones scattered across the stage to

True, it is not above staging crowd-pleasers; in its 21-year history it has returned five times to A Midsummer Night's Dream and Twelfth
- [A Streetcar Named Desire](https://www.theatrescotland.com/a-streetcar-named-desire/) - The Guardian 8 June 2023 It must be tempting for an actor playing Blanche DuBois to be unhinged from the start. Once they know the emotional battering the character is about to go through – the layers of regret and recrimination made volatile by drink – they would have cause to enter with an air
- [Meghan Tyler on Bloodbank](https://www.theatrescotland.com/meghan-tyler-on-bloodbank/) - The Scotsman 6 June 2023 Meghan Tyler doesn’t do things by halves. They made their full-length playwriting debut in explosive style with Crocodile Fever, a Fringe hit for Edinburgh’s Traverse in 2019.

The Trigger Point actor was in the midst of rowing the 3,000 miles between La Gomera in the Canary Islands and Antigua. It was a gruelling, not to say discombobulating, 39-day endeavour. For six weeks, he and the

Like Bertolt Brecht’s play, in which a woman trades her way through the 30 years’ war in a primal effort to support her family, Gypsy is about a mother who acts out of economic necessity to keep her daughters alive. It

First it should not be able to exist anywhere but the stage. Second it should have a reason to be heard; something "politically necessary". As she sees it, Wolfie (Some Sort Of Fairy Tale) ticks both boxes.

He recalls as many as 50 of them, each delivered with careful

But they are not the only ones there. Drawing
- [Gypsy](https://www.theatrescotland.com/gypsy/) - The Scotsman 17 May 2023 Here's a quiz question for you: how many classic Broadway musicals are there in which all the central roles are played by women? You have to discount those where a man calls the shots, which rules out, for example, My Fair Lady and The Wizard Of Oz, despite their prominent
- [Dear Billy](https://www.theatrescotland.com/dear-billy/) - The Scotsman 9 May 2023 Gary McNair likes a long subtitle. The one he has come up with for his latest one-man show is A Love Letter To The Big Yin From The People Of Scotland. That sums up his ambitions for the production, which celebrates the nation's fondness for one of its greatest comedians.
- [Protest](https://www.theatrescotland.com/protest/) - The Guardian 3 May 2023 Hannah Lavery constructs her play from simple sentences. Her language is clear and direct. Each line builds on the last, with primary-school economy. At first, the picture she paints is unremarkable. It is all relay races, bird watching and maths classes. We hear about grandmas, fathers and big brothers. It

She sees herself as a performance poet; one for whom the spoken word takes precedence over the written. But then the pandemic happened and suddenly speaking her verse aloud was not an option. So a book it was. Published
- [Stornoway, Quebec review](https://www.theatrescotland.com/stornoway-quebec-review/) - The Guardian 9 April 2023 On the back wall of Becky Minto’s bar-room set, a temporary looking collection of rough-hewn wooden planks, are two framed slogans. One of them reads “Je me souviens,” the Quebecois motto about never forgetting your past. The other reads “Fialachd do’n fhògarrach,” a Gaelic phrase promising hospitality to the outcast.
- [Kidnapped](https://www.theatrescotland.com/kidnapped/) - The Guardian 3 April 2023 With the long-running Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of), playwright Isobel McArthur lit upon a winning technique – one as exhilarating as it was counterintuitive. You take a popular if essentially serious novel and treat it with just enough irreverence to make it fun. Lest the gags, playfulness and pop songs
- [Sean And Daro Flake It ‘Til They Make It](https://www.theatrescotland.com/sean-and-daro-flake-it-til-they-make-it/) - The Scotsman, 31 March 2023 When you hear they’re putting on a comedy about two men running a Glasgow ice-cream van, you think immediately of the city’s notorious turf wars. Back in the 1980s, rival gangs used the hiding-in-plain-sight network of vans to distribute drugs and other contraband to their customers. Things turned nasty with
- [Stornoway, Quebec: The making of a 'Gaelic Western'](https://www.theatrescotland.com/stornoway-quebec-the-making-of-a-gaelic-western/) - The Scotsman 24 March 2023 We all have afternoons we will never get back. First-time playwright Calum L MacLeòid had one when he was supposed to be writing Stornoway, Quebec. He became obsessed with a historical detail about 19th-century Canada. "I lost about an hour trying to figure out when drawing-pins were patented," he says.
- [Educating Rita](https://www.theatrescotland.com/educating-rita/) - The Scotsman 3 March 2023 Willy Russell's Educating Rita is a comedy about a clash of cultures. On one hand, there is Frank, the worldly professor, bookish and secure. On the other, there is Rita, street-smart but uneducated, knowing more about hairdressing than the classics. It is easy to imagine a parallel with the actors.
- [Macbeth (An Undoing)](https://www.theatrescotland.com/macbeth-an-undoing/) - The Guardian 9 February 2023 To summon up witches is to play with fire. Could the same be true about summoning up a dead playwright? That is what writer/director Zinnie Harris does in her audacious conjuring of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. It is not so much a revival as an exhumation, one in which she dares to
- [Moonset review](https://www.theatrescotland.com/moonset-review/) - The Guardian 8 February 2023 When you see the gang of teenagers who form a midnight coven in Maryam Hamidi’s punchy and poetic new play, you think of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Des Dillon’s Six Black Candles and Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. Young and volatile, these girls believe they have access to dark spiritual forces – and,
- [A Mother's Song](https://www.theatrescotland.com/a-mothers-song/) - The Scotsman 8 February 2023 Most of us have little sense of family history beyond our grandparents. Go a few generations back and things get vague. But one way the past continues to talk to the present is through culture. Songs, stories and poems are handed down from one age to the next, finding new
- [Nicole Cooper on Macbeth (An Undoing)](https://www.theatrescotland.com/nicole-cooper-on-macbeth-an-undoing/) - The Scotsman 31 January 2023 It is a conundrum for any actor playing Lady Macbeth. Things start off the way you would expect in Shakespeare's tragedy as she greets her husband on his return from battle. He has a glimmer of ambition in his eyes after hearing a prophesy and she encourages him to think
- [Manipulate festival 2023](https://www.theatrescotland.com/manipulate-festival-2023/) - The Scotsman 23 January 2023 You never know quite where you are with Manipulate, and that is more the case than ever this year with Edinburgh's annual festival of visual theatre. Where once this genre-stretching celebration was neatly contained in one place – initially at the Traverse, latterly at Summerhall – now, it is spreading
- [Burns](https://www.theatrescotland.com/burns/) - The Scotsman 9 January 2023 Tish Tindall was as surprised as anyone when she heard David Gest wanted to meet her. It is not that Tindall was new to showbiz – she is the co-owner of Lossie Entertainment Academy Studios, a podcast host and a prolific songwriter. But the Inverurie-born musician and teacher is hardly

So much can happen between commission and production, it’s best nobody gets their hopes up. That is why Eilidh Loan took her time before telling her dad Garry the good news about her play Moorcroft. She had already put him through the ringer once. The
- [Cinderella, Dundee Rep](https://www.theatrescotland.com/cinderella-dundee-rep/) - The Guardian 8 December 2022 You can see why Lynda Radley was wary about taking on Cinderella. How can a playwright give agency to a character who is exploited by her family then swept away by a handsome prince? One circumstance may be preferable to the other but neither gives her a say. Radley’s solution
- [Jordan Young on Snow White](https://www.theatrescotland.com/jordan-young-on-snow-white/) - The Scotsman 8 December 2022 Edinburgh panto lovers have needed patience this year. While the King's is being refurbished, the annual mirth-fest led by Allan Stewart, Grant Stott and Jordan Young is taking up residence in the Festival Theatre. The switch of venue has meant a change of date and it is only on 17
- [Beauty and the Beast](https://www.theatrescotland.com/beauty-and-the-beast/) - The Guardian 5 December 2022 It is tempting to grumble about the supposed spontaneity of this ebullient mainstage panto. Kathryn Rooney’s production is so finely tuned that everything – from the foreign visitors in the box to the late arrivals in the stalls and the onstage collision with a swinging door – is planned and
- [Enough of Him](https://www.theatrescotland.com/enough-of-him-2/) - The Guardian 25 October 2022 It is the start of May Sumbwanyambe’s uneasy drama and Joseph Knight (Omar Austin) is showing John Wedderburn (Matthew Pidgeon) the book he is reading. Seeing it is by Plato, Wedderburn comments on the Greek philosopher’s thoughts on fathers and sons. His interest seems to reflect on his own relationship
- [Ross MacKay on Treasure Island](https://www.theatrescotland.com/ross-mackay-on-treasure-island/) - The Scotsman 30 November 2022 When Ross MacKay was a boy, he loved nothing more than to write. He was not sporty, but give him a blank piece of paper and he was away. He filled a folder with stories set in an imagined world and squirrelled them away beneath his bed where no one
- [Jack and the Beanstalk](https://www.theatrescotland.com/jack-and-the-beanstalk/) - The Guardian 27 November 2022 The temperature is rising in Middle Perth. Nobody says it in so many words but the opening salvo of songs tells you all you need to know: Walking on Sunshine; Hot in Herre; Hot Stuff; (Feeling) Hot Hot Hot. Becky Minto’s designs point in the same direction: everything is bathed
- [The Wonderful Wizard of Oz](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-wonderful-wizard-of-oz/) - The Guardian 27 November 2022 Holywood repeats itself, first as musical, second as panto. If you have never imagined Dorothy in drag, well, you have never reckoned on Johnny McKnight, the spangly gold standard of pantomime dames, swapping denim for gingham and following the yellow brick road out of Tronsis. It stretches only as far
- [Peter Pan and Wendy](https://www.theatrescotland.com/peter-pan-and-wendy/) - The Guardian 25 November 2022 Captain Hook looks as if he has stepped out of the court of Louis XIV. His head is half wig, half galleon, buoyant on a sea of blond curls. It is such a striking image that it takes a moment to notice the boots finished with pearls or the rings
- [Colin McCredie on playing Captain Hook](https://www.theatrescotland.com/colin-mccredie-on-playing-captain-hook/) - The Scotsman 8 November 2022 It is not a question most of us ever have to worry about it, but for an actor it could make all the difference: on which hand should Captain Hook wear his hook? For Colin McCredie, playing JM Barrie's pirate in Peter Pan and Wendy at Pitlochry Festival Theatre, it
- [Shirley Valentine](https://www.theatrescotland.com/shirley-valentine/) - The Guardian 24 October 2022 Willy Russell’s 1986 monologue is addressed to a kitchen wall. Stuck with domestic chores and a rigid catering schedule – if it’s Thursday, it must be mince – the 42-year-old Shirley Bradshaw has no one else to talk to. The chat is not great, but at least the wall won’t
- [The Time Machine](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-time-machine/) - The Guardian 17 October 2022 Strange to report that the least interesting aspect of this adaptation of The Time Machine is the stuff written by HG Wells. In a devised production by Jordan & Skinner, four actors take turns wearing an outsize top hat to tell the story of the Victorian gentleman who leaps ahead
- [La Performance](https://www.theatrescotland.com/la-performance/) - The Guardian 14 October 2022 What’s not to like? You’ve got Ramesh Meyyappan, the beguiling physical theatre performer who, in shows such as Off-Kilter, has displayed a winning combination of charm and precision. You’ve got Emmanuelle Laborit, actor and director of the International Visual theatre in Paris. And you’ve got the two of them coming
- [Trainspotting Live](https://www.theatrescotland.com/trainspotting-live/) - The Guardian 12 October 2022 Perhaps you thought Trainspotting was too coy. Maybe you thought Irvine Welsh’s novel was on the restrained side. Yes, it had scenes of drug-addled bed soiling, mindless assaults and fatal child neglect, but perhaps you wish it had been more visceral. If that is you, then Trainspotting Live will be
- [Enough of Him](https://www.theatrescotland.com/enough-of-him/) - 7 October 2022 The Scotsman It is a landmark case in Scottish legal history. In 1778, Joseph Knight persuaded the courts he should be free to leave the employment of John Wedderburn. The obstacle was that Wedderburn had bought Knight as a slave in Jamaica and believed he had the right to hold him in
- [James IV: Queen of the Fight](https://www.theatrescotland.com/james-iv-queen-of-the-fight-2/) - The Guardian 5 October 2022 It’s a cosmopolitan place, the court of James IV of Scotland. In the earthy crucible of Jon Bausor’s set, you hear Spanish, French, Scots, Gaelic – even English. With so much international traffic around him, the 16th-century king, played with relaxed authority by Daniel Cahill, knows he has the eyes
- [Sally Reid on playing Shirley Valentine](https://www.theatrescotland.com/sally-reid-on-playing-shirley-valentine/) - The Scotsman 4 October 2022 The first thing actor Sally Reid and director Elizabeth Newman had to decide on was the accent. Would Reid play Shirley Valentine with her native Perthshire lilt, or would she adopt the Liverpudlian tones conceived by playwright Willy Russell? “We settled on it being authentic to the story,” says Reid.
- [Jordan & Skinner on their feminist retelling of The Time Machine](https://www.theatrescotland.com/jordan-skinner-on-their-feminist-retelling-of-the-time-machine/) - The Scotsman 28 September 2022 HG Wells was a visionary. It is not only that his 1895 novella introduced the phrase “time machine” to the language, it is also that his imagined future identified the flaw in early capitalist thinking. The Time Machine takes us to the year 802,701, by which point the human race
- [James IV: Queen of the Fight](https://www.theatrescotland.com/james-iv-queen-of-the-fight/) - The Guardian 13 September 2022 When an early draft of Rona Munro’s new play did the rounds, one of the first people to read it had a quibble. They said they had liked the way her original three James Plays had been based on historical fact – the stories of Scotland’s medieval kings, James I,
- [The Maggie Wall](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-maggie-wall/) - The Guardian 12 September 2022 There is something unknowable about young Maggie Wall. Perhaps you would call it spiritual. You hear it in the lullaby handed down through the generations, the words like an incantation taking root within her. Or it’s the magic of the illicit Latin prayer she sings, a romantic alternative to songless
- [Don Quixote: Man Of Clackmannanshire](https://www.theatrescotland.com/don-quixote-man-of-clackmannanshire/) - The Scotsman 7 Sep 2022 The latest collaboration between Perth Theatre and Dundee Rep has had a slow gestation. The arrestingly titled Don Quixote: Man Of Clackmannanshire started life in 2014 as one of the Classic Cuts programmed by Glasgow's A Play, A Pie And A Pint. This series took famous works of literature and
- [One of Two](https://www.theatrescotland.com/one-of-two/) - The Guardian 8 August 2022 The real drama of Jack Hunter’s one-man play kicks in halfway through. After a meandering chat about his childhood, cheery but largely unremarkable, he plays a video of his sister Bec from 10 years ago. At the age of 16, she is being interviewed about her campaign for better education.
- [Truth's a Dog Must to Kennel](https://www.theatrescotland.com/truths-a-dog-must-to-kennel/) - The Guardian 12 August 2022 On the back wall there is a notice saying: “Please rinse and sanitise.” Over to the right a poster from Equity, the union for performers and creative practitioners, talks about “creating safe spaces”. It includes the number for a harassment helpline. There is no decor and the house lights are
- [This Is Memorial Device](https://www.theatrescotland.com/this-is-memorial-device/) - The Guardian 17 August 2022 A few years ago, the director Stewart Laing invented a character called Paul Bright. He was a Glasgow performance artist who had staged an epic adaptation of Confessions of a Justified Sinner by James Hogg in the 1980s, and Laing assembled the press cuttings, posters and first-hand memories to prove
- [Burn](https://www.theatrescotland.com/burn/) - The Guardian 7 August 2022 "And still my motto is: I dare,” says Alan Cumming at the end of his ravishing one-man evocation of Robert Burns. And if the Ayrshire poet was daring, then so, too, is the actor. Cumming has always had a slinky, insinuating presence, whether as the Emcee in Cabaret or as
- [Irvine Welsh's Porno](https://www.theatrescotland.com/irvine-welshs-porno/) - The Guardian 14 August 2022 For all that the characters of Trainspotting lurked on the perilous fringes, they were at least young enough for the slogan “choose life” to be an option. In Irvine Welsh’s 2002 sequel, Renton, Sickboy, Begbie and Spud return 15 years older and it is with a sense of alarm to
- [Svengali](https://www.theatrescotland.com/svengali/) - The Guardian 6 August 2022 How do you represent male power on stage without replicating the very structures you want to challenge? The solution in Eve Nicol’s absorbing play is to cast a woman in the role of a domineering man. With slicked-back hair and cool summer suit, Chloe-Ann Tylor brings a disruptive distance to
- [Exodus](https://www.theatrescotland.com/exodus/) - The Guardian 8 August 2022 It is with remarkable prescience that Uma Nada-Rajah’s political farce has opened at the same time as the Tory leadership campaign. Just as Sunak and Truss vie to outdo each other with right-wing awfulness, so fictional home secretary Asiya Rao (Aryana Ramkhalawon) angles to take the top job from a
- [She Wolf](https://www.theatrescotland.com/she-wolf/) - The Guardian 11 August 2022 Fight, flight or freeze. Those are our responses to threat. We do not need to think about them. Our animal instinct kicks in long before rational thought. We simply act. Beneath the high-status jobs, the designer clothes and the fancy cars, our animal selves remain. We have become domesticated, but
- [Wilf and Ode to Joy](https://www.theatrescotland.com/wilf-and-ode-to-joy/) - The Guardian 11 August 2022 Who would have thought the writer who came to attention with a sweet play about a bookshop would return as one of the most scurrilous voices on the fringe? In 2017, playwright James Ley wrote Love Song to Lavender Menace, an affectionate comedy that included a character too nervous to
- [Under Another Sky](https://www.theatrescotland.com/under-another-sky-2/) - The Guardian 12 August 2022 There can’t be many plays in which the emotional turning point is an argument over Henry Purcell’s Dido’s Lament. But then there can’t be many plays inspired by a Romans-in-Britain travelogue by the Guardian’s chief culture writer. Unlikely though it might seem, David Greig’s two-hander is a free adaptation of
- [Silkworm](https://www.theatrescotland.com/silkworm/) - The Guardian 13 August 2022 Imagine coming under such ferocious interrogation about your private life that the questions start to wheedle their way into your relationship. Such is the case for Abidemi and Omolade in this two-hander about a Nigerian couple seeking asylum in the UK on the grounds of sexual persecution. As playwright Vlad
- [Medea](https://www.theatrescotland.com/medea/) - The Guardian 14 August 2022 Everybody is larger than life in Michael Boyd’s tremendous staging of Liz Lochhead’s play, still queasily contentious 2,500 years after the Euripides original. In one sense, this is literally the case. Tom Piper’s set is a catwalk that overshadows the audience as we stand like a mob gathered to witness an execution.
- [The Not So Ugly Duckling](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-not-so-ugly-duckling/) - The Guardian 18 August 2022 I'm no fan of seagulls – only the other day, one of them snatched a sandwich out of my hand – but I’ve never thought of them as being quite as nasty as they appear in this reworking of the Hans Christian Andersen tale. Played by Jo Clifford, the seagull
- [The Bush](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-bush/) - The Guardian 18 August 2022 Towards the end of this one-woman show, writer/performer Alice Mary Cooper wonders out loud what the moral of her story is. She offers some possibilities but does not sound wholly convinced by any of them. It is a shame she did not ask the same question at the start. Although
- [With the Devil's Assistance](https://www.theatrescotland.com/with-the-devils-assistance/) - The Guardian 18 August 2022 As we see all the time in pop music, good things happen when styles collide. Perhaps there have been others before her, but Shona Cowie is the first performer I have seen to fuse traditional storytelling with the physical theatre techniques of Jacques Lecoq. On the one hand, hers is

We are simple creatures, programmed to respond to visible threat and bad at dealing with the theoretical, however well founded. That being
- [The Comedy of Errors](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-comedy-of-errors/) - The Guardian 28 August 2022 Ephesus is quite the place. It has its name in stage lights and you only have to open a door to hear the sound of wild partying. When it’s time for a feast, someone arrives with a pile of pizza boxes. It is brash, metropolitan and a little dodgy –
- [Sister Radio](https://www.theatrescotland.com/sister-radio/) - The Guardian 28 August 2022 Fatemeh has just introduced her sister Shirin to her boyfriend and is excited to know what she thinks of him. Shirin is being guarded and holds her tongue. “Say something,” says Fatemeh in frustration. The irony is that Shirin says nothing – not just now but in half the scenes

First, the Traverse decided to revive its production of the playwright's Wilf for the Edinburgh Fringe. It was a comedy about a man who develops a physical infatuation with his car, an unexpected side effect of passing his driving
- [Maggie May](https://www.theatrescotland.com/maggie-may/) - The Guardian 13 May 2022 Frances Poet has form when it comes to dramatising illness. Her play Fibres (2019) was about a shipyard worker and his wife living with asbestosis. The cast of ailing characters in Still (2021) included a woman with chronic pain. Maggie May, delayed from 2020 because of the pandemic, is about
- [Dominic Hill on The Comedy of Errors](https://www.theatrescotland.com/dominic-hill-on-the-comedy-of-errors/) - The Scotsman 5 August 2022 You can't fault Dominic Hill for perseverance. Last summer, the artistic director of Glasgow's Citizens Theatre staged The Comedy Of Errors as part of Scottish Opera's Live at No 40 Festival. It ran long enough to pick up a couple of five-star reviews, but only after disaster had struck. Before
- [Nightlands](https://www.theatrescotland.com/nightlands/) - The Guardian 5 August 2022 Who exactly is the enemy currently laying waste to Ukraine? There was a time the answer would have been easy. Those of us who grew up on this side of the iron curtain were schooled to see the old USSR as a dictatorship, an unyielding empire hell-bent on protecting its

The Steamie is a play so beloved by audiences that they don't just recognise the songs – those bittersweet ballads written by David Anderson – they also greet the big speeches like old friends. The one in which the aging Mrs Culfeathers expounds her

It is a question vexing arts promoters even now. Anecdotal evidence suggests audiences are less predictable than they ever were. Even on a town-by-town basis, box-office figures show wild variations – a hit for a touring show in one
- [Under Another Sky](https://www.theatrescotland.com/under-another-sky/) - The Scotsman 26 July 2022 David Greig wonders if what he has done in his latest play should even be allowed. Technically, he has only adapted a book. His romantic two-hander takes its inspiration from Under Another Sky: Journeys In Roman Britain by the journalist and author Charlotte Higgins. But inspiration is almost all it

Even at the best of times, many prefer their art with a little less intensity; in an era of

The heart-on-sleeve passions, the windswept romance and the wistful longing for the land that characterised the folk-rock outfit’s 45-year career before their split in 2018 are well suited to a

The one that appears here, in the final leg of the global journey of Phileas Fogg, is a plump patchwork of primary colours, looking radiant against a backdrop
- [Underwood Lane](https://www.theatrescotland.com/underwood-lane-2/) - The Guardian 8 July 2022 John Byrne is not a playwright you associate with jukebox musicals. The Slab Boys author – who, as a painter, is being celebrated in a retrospective at Glasgow’s Kelvingrove – has always had the popular touch. In his TV series Tutti Frutti and Your Cheatin’ Heart, he also made much

It also works for alliteration. And that is all the justification writer and director Andy McGregor needs for this deliriously daft lunchtime show for A Play, a Pie and a Pint in which

It is not only that she is back in the rehearsal room as musical director after so long in lockdown – although that is a huge part of the thrill.

True, there is something of the National Theatre of Brent about the enterprise; in Marc Small’s outdoor production, it is down to just two

- [Orphans](https://www.theatrescotland.com/orphans/) - The Guardian 8 April 2022 If the idea of a musical about grief sounds unlikely, it can only be because we have a limited idea of what that emotion should look like. The grief in Peter Mullan’s 1998 movie Orphans is not of the maudlin, greetings-card kind. Rather, it is raw, dangerous and off-kilter. So

- [Manipulate](https://www.theatrescotland.com/manipulate/) - The Guardian 31 January 2022 No single word can encapsulate Manipulate. The festival’s mix of animation, physical theatre and puppetry defies easy categorisation. The organisation itself opts for “visually led work”.

A long time, too, since we caught sight of its artistic director, Andy Arnold, who emerges from theatrical gloom in this exquisite 30-minute film to lead us through the building’s shut-off corridors and back rooms.
- [Lament for Sheku Bayoh](https://www.theatrescotland.com/lament-for-sheku-bayoh/) - The Guardian 20 November 2020 ‘It’s not Black Lives Matter,” says one of the characters in Hannah Lavery’s damning new play. “This is Scotland. It’s not the same.” The police forcefully hold a young black man on the ground. Within 90 minutes, the father of two is dead. But this is not Minneapolis in 2020. Rather,
- [The Journey](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-journey/) - The Guardian 17 Nov 2020 The joy of a magic trick is in the moment. The magician defies the rules of physics and we are astonished. Usually that’s it. Unless it’s Derren Brown making us doubt our very perception of the world, the trick carries no further meaning. Quickly, we move on to something else.
- [Deliverance, Brite Theater](https://www.theatrescotland.com/deliverance-brite-theater/) - The Guardian 16 November 2020 One of the things they teach playwrights is character development. If your hero is the same person at the end of the play as they were at the beginning, something could be amiss. It’s the same for the audience. With any half-way decent show, you should feel different by the
- [Shades of Tay, Pitlochry Festival Theatre](https://www.theatrescotland.com/shades-of-tay-pitlochry-festival-theatre/) - The Guardian 31 August 2020 YOU can’t fault Pitlochry Festival theatre for industriousness. Under artistic director Elizabeth Newman, the company has channelled its energy into a prodigious online programme during the pandemic. Using the hashtag #PFTLightHopeJoy, it has been uploading as many as three YouTube videos a day. They come in bite-size chunks and range
- [Ghost Light review – a feast of dreams from the National Theatre of Scotland](https://www.theatrescotland.com/ghost-light-review-a-feast-of-dreams-from-the-national-theatre-of-scotland/) - National Theatre of Scotland online THE test of a good production of Peter Pan is the scene where the audience bring Tinkerbell back to life. For her to survive, we have to prove that we believe in fairies. When a show gets it right, the audience make magic happen. Reviving the little ball of light requires the
- [Traverse festival, Edinburgh](https://www.theatrescotland.com/traverse-festival-edinburgh/) - The Guardian 25 Aug 2020 This the time of year commentators like to weigh in about the big themes on the Edinburgh fringe. The festival is a cultural barometer and, after a few days of back-to-back theatregoing, you seem to get an insight into society’s most pressing concerns. Last year, for example, it was all
- [The Coolidge Effect, Wonderfools, online](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-coolidge-effect/) - The Guardian 28 July 2020 Stories to Connect Us is the name given by the Glasgow company Wonder Fools to its online season – and with good reason. In our months of lockdown, connection is exactly what we’ve missed. It is ironic, then, that The Coolidge Effect, the second show in the season, should be
- [Scenes for Survival, 2nd round-up, NTS, online](https://www.theatrescotland.com/scenes-for-survival-2nd-round-up-nts-online/) - The Guardian 4 Aug 2020 DURING the Covid crisis, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London has been collecting what it calls Pandemic Objects: artefacts that have taken on new significance in our changed lives. Let’s hope its remit includes archiving Scenes for Survival, a collaboration between the National Theatre of Scotland and the BBC, now
- [Miraculous, Ayr Gaiety/Borderline, online](https://www.theatrescotland.com/miraculous-ayr-gaiety-borderline-online/) - The Guardian 31 July 2020 The 1980s brought us one-hit wonders such as Nena, Falco and Men Without Hats. To that list, playwright David F Ross would like us to add the Miraculous Vespas and their chart topper It’s a Miracle, a reverb-saturated slice of indie pop with a jangliness that seems perfectly authentic. As well it
- [Edinburgh Festival: "the biggest challenge will be to make the audience feel like an audience again"](https://www.theatrescotland.com/edinburgh-festival-the-biggest-challenge-will-be-to-make-the-audience-feel-like-an-audience-again/) - Scotland on Sunday 26 July 2020 It was a family holiday somewhere in the Republic of Ireland. I don’t remember the name of the town, but it must have been a Sunday in the 1970s and, being Roman Catholic, my family had gone along to mass in the local church. It was packed. So packed
- [Adventures with the Painted People preview](https://www.theatrescotland.com/adventures-with-the-painted-people-preview/) - The Guardian 2 June 2020 We never ask the right question of the future,” says David Greig, artistic director of Edinburgh’s Royal Lyceum theatre. “If you’d asked me six months ago what the big question of 2020 was going to be, I’d have been asking if the theatre would get an uplift in our Creative Scotland support
- [Scenes for Survival, National Theatre of Scotland, online](https://www.theatrescotland.com/scenes-for-survival-national-theatre-of-scotland-online/) - The Guardian, 27 May 2020 THERE'S a special joy in seeing a familiar character in an unfamiliar place. Take John Rebus. Solitary curmudgeon he may be, but Ian Rankin’s Edinburgh detective is a man engaged in his world, be it the city mortuary or the Oxford bar. Take him out of that world, as Rankin
- [Elizabeth Newman, artistic director, Pitlochry Festival Theatre](https://www.theatrescotland.com/interview-elizabeth-newman/) - TheatreVoice 2 April 2020 Elizabeth arrived at Pitlochry Festival Theatre in 2018 after eight years at Bolton’s Octagon, five as associate director and three as artistic director. Now in her second season as artistic director of the self-styled “theatre in the hills”, she has increased the annual number of productions to nine, a figure in
- [The Metamorphosis, Vanishing Point, Tron Theatre, Glasgow](https://www.theatrescotland.com/the-metamorphosis-vanishing-point-tron-theatre-glasgow/) - The Guardian 16 March 2020 Of all the shows to have been affected by the Covid-19 outbreak, it is ironic that Vanishing Point’s Kafka adaptation should have been one of the first. A co-production with Emilia Romagna Teatro Fondazione, it was due to have had its premiere at the 2020 VIE festival in Cesena at the end of February. The
- [Barefoot in the Park, Pitlochry Festival Theatre](https://www.theatrescotland.com/barefoot-in-the-park-pitlochry-festival-theatre/) - The Guardian 16 March 2020 It’s the second half of Neil Simon’s comedy when things kick off. After the sweet-tempered wisecracks before the interval, the mood has turned sour. Corie and Paul are newlyweds and their six-day marriage is faltering. In Elizabeth Newman’s production, the two of them circle each other in a ferocious dance across
- [Edinburgh festival’s cancellation will be felt not just around the city but the world](https://www.theatrescotland.com/edinburgh-festivals-cancellation-will-be-felt-not-just-around-the-city-but-the-world/) - The Guardian 1 April 2020 The story used to be about how enormous the Edinburgh fringe had become. As long ago as 1961, theatre director Gerard Slevin argued it would be “much better if only 10 halls were licensed”. Ever since, pundits have predicted the bubble would burst. But it has continued to grow. In
- [Five from Inside, Traverse, Edinburgh, online](https://www.theatrescotland.com/five-from-inside-traverse-edinburgh-online/) - The Guardian 19 April 2020 Many theatre-makers have responded to the coronavirus lockdown by seeking to re-create a sense of community. Whether it’s the Zoom-based talking heads of the Show Must Go Online’s Shakespeare marathon, the collage of images in St Helens Theatre Royal’s Rapunzel: The Lockdown Panto or the bring-your-own-laughter-track banter of the Stand comedy club’s weekly mixed
