My Fringe was a bit of a mixed bag.

EDINBURGH 2013 - BWW Reviews: [title of show], Assembly Checkpoint, August 17 2013
There is a kind of musical I've started to call plinky-plonk (the name is a work in progress).
EDINBURGH 2013 - BWW Reviews: HOWIE THE ROOKIE, Assembly Hall, August 18 2013
I didn't know what to expect other than 'Howie the Rookie' is a one-man show set in Dublin.
EDINBURGH 2013 - BWW Reviews: LE GATEAU CHOCOLAT: I HEART CHOCOLAT, Underbelly, August 17 2013
You get the impression that resistance is futile: from the dimly-lit entrance of Le Gat (that's what I'm calling him), certain corners of the audience are filled with yelps of delight, gleeful whoops and just general joy at his arrival.
EDINBURGH 2013 - BWW Reviews: BALLAD OF THE BURNING STAR, Pleasance Dome, August 17 2013
In the post-ANTM age (if that doesn't make immediate sense, I won't explain it for fear of embarrassment), the word fierce has become a bit overused but it's the only description for the five 'Starlets' in this new production by Theatre Ad Infinitum, darlings of the Fringe after their previous show,
EDINBURGH 2013 - BWW Reviews: MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG, Greenside, August 17 2013
A cast of young people performing in a Fringe musical that isn't 'Spring Awakening' is a thing to treasure, and when it's in fact Stephen Sondheim's glorious 'Merrily We Roll Along', it's an even greater cause for celebration.
EDINBURGH 2013 - BWW Reviews: BATH TIME, Gilded Balloon Teviot, August 18 2013
At the end of this performance of 'Bath Time', the actor/writer Ruaraidh Murray (it's a one-man show) shook hands with everyone in the front row, and very sincerely thanked everyone for coming - the venue is called the Wee Room so there was plenty of scope to make eye contact with the whole audience
EDINBURGH 2013 - BWW Reviews: TITUS ANDRONICUS, Bedlam Theatre, August 16 2013
I don't know much about Shakespeare, and I knew even less about Titus Andronicus before seeing this version by Smooth Faced Gentlemen, the UK's only all-female Shakespeare company.
EDINBURGH 2013 - BWW Reviews: BLOOD TIES, theSpace @ Venue 45, August 13 2013
'Blood Ties', by cast members Anika Johnson and Barbara Johnston, seems to have had quite a journey pre-Fringe.
EDINBURGH 2013 - BWW Reviews: BETWEEN, theSpace @ Surgeons Halll, August 16 2013
'Between' is packing them in.
EDINBURGH 2013 - BWW Reviews: GARDENING: FOR THE UNFULFILLED AND ALIENATED, Pleasance Courtyard, August 16 2013
"Life isn't your oyster - it's your lobster and it's being boiled alive.
EDINBURGH 2013 - BWW Reviews: BETWEEN EMPIRES, theSpace @ Symposium Hall, August 15 2013
Picking a musical to see at the Fringe is always tricky, especially with brand new shows, and lack of name recognition must be something of a liability here, but it also helps to make Between Empires the immensely enjoyable surprise it is.
BWW Reviews: THE COLOR PURPLE, Menier Chocolate Factory, July 16 2013
Kevin Sherwin takes in this ambitious, emotional transfer of the 2005 Broadway hit.
BWW Reviews: CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, Theatre Royal Drury Lane, June 21 2013
When it comes to sky-high expectations, this production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has it harder than most, the challenge being how to satisfy an audience likely to have read and loved Roald Dahl's book and seen the story already realised - twice.
BWW Reviews: RENT – 20TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT TOUR, Hackney Empire, April 26 2013
There are certain things one can expect from any given production of RENT: the Mark will always wear a scarf, the cast will always try to get a bit of a clap-along going in 'Seasons Of Love' and the Benny will do his best with what is a thankless, nothingy role.
BWW Reviews: ONCE, Phoenix Theatre, April 10 2013
From the Guy's opening number, the plaintive 'Leave', it's not difficult to see why the Girl silently falls for him, thus setting up the framework of what is a slight but affecting and tender love story.
BWW Reviews: MIES JULIE, Riverside Studios, March 11 2013
Based on August Strindberg's 1888 play Miss Julie, Mies Julie transfers the action from a Count's estate in Sweden to a powerful (unseen) white farmer's house in modern-day post-apartheid South Africa.
BWW Reviews: VIVA FOREVER!, Piccadilly Theatre, December 20 2012
It must have seemed like a no-brainer.
BWW Reviews: STRAIGHT, Bush Theatre, December 5 2012
As high concepts go, it doesn't get much simpler: Two heterosexual male friends decided to make porn with each other.
