Review Roundup: Did CATS in London Make The Critics Purr With Delight?

Aliya Al-Hassan • August 7, 2026

There's no better way to introduce your family to the wonders of live theatre than with the magic, the mystery, the memory of Cats. What began as a musical about cats after Andrew Lloyd Webber picked up a book of poems in an airport bookshop has become one of the longest running shows in Broadway's history. Winner of seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Cats features 20 of Andrew Lloyd Webber's timeless melodies, including the hit song 'Memory.' What did the critics think of Drew McOnie's new production?

Review: INTIMATE APPAREL at Kansas City Actors' Theatre

Review: INTIMATE APPAREL at Kansas City Actors' Theatre

Kansas City: Alan Portner • August 9, 2026

The year is 1905.  The place is New York City. The play is Lynn Nottage’s intimate and surprisingly affective comedy/drama “Intimate Apparel.” “Intimate Apparel” tells a tale drawn from Nottage’s own passed down ancestry stories and perhaps a little imagined history.  The inspiration is a sepia toned photo of a seamstress from the turn of the twentieth-century. The lights come up on Esther Mills (Chioma Anyanwu), a thirty-six-year-old gifted seamstress, who has carved out a niche business for herself designing and creating intimate apparel for a widely diverse customer base.  Esther’s customers represent both the upper crust of New York’s society, the 400, and others who populate the raunchy Tenderloin district and whose less public clientele are the bored husbands of society’s 400.     

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: MAN OR BEAR, Summerhall

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: MAN OR BEAR, Summerhall

Scotland: Cindy Marcolina • August 9, 2026

Back in 2024, a TikTok user asked women if they’d rather be stuck in a forest with a man or with a bear. An astounding number of them replied that they’d choose the bear over a man any day. Paige and her daughter Angel have just moved into a flat rented by Connie. They’re fleeing from Sam, Paige’s abusive ex and Angel’s long-term stepfather. Lesley Ewen, Amaia Naima Aguinaga, and Katie Hurley address the many shapes of violence.

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: REFORMER, Greenside @ George Street

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: REFORMER, Greenside @ George Street

Scotland: Cindy Marcolina • August 9, 2026

Though it’s a comedy, the foundations of Reformer rest on an acute social examination. The writing might come off as lighthearted and comic as the duo grapple with the instructor’s vocal fry and patronising cadence (Emma Kowalchuk) while they do her harrowing exercises, but the play reveals some of the horrors of womanhood too well for comfort.

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THE REUNION, C Aurora

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THE REUNION, C Aurora

Scotland: Cindy Marcolina • August 9, 2026

This uproarious road-trip comedy becomes a chance to talk about social class, parental strife, regressive opinions, and intense patriotism.

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: HOW TO FEEL FEELINGS, The Space Triplex

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: HOW TO FEEL FEELINGS, The Space Triplex

Scotland: Iona Rose • August 9, 2026

This show grapples with the complex moral quandary of survival by following instructions. They are bound by the consequences of their actions, yet expected to obey and please the new powers at every turn. It's a fascinating portrayal, exploring what power and powerlessness can do.

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: MILKDRUNK, The Space @ Symposium Hall

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: MILKDRUNK, The Space @ Symposium Hall

Scotland: Iona Rose • August 9, 2026

Someone once told her that babies are natural comedians, and I can say with certainty that so is she. Cathleen O'Malley's startling one-woman show skims the top off the fantasy and reveals what it truly takes to have a baby. With a maniacal smile, she guides you through the nitty gritty of childbirth, the newborn phase, and the exhaustion of parenthood.

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: PROPHETS, Assembly

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: PROPHETS, Assembly

Scotland: Natalie O'Donoghue • August 9, 2026

A researcher from Scotland travels to Saint John, a remote British Overseas Territory in the South Pacific. Upon arrival, she finds the island is under the control of a growing religious cult. This discovery starts to shift her studies from the land to the people as the dangerous theology of the cult is revealed and the day of paradise approaches. Prophets is a brand new two-hander drama from Fringe First-winning writer Jack MacGregor that examines the intersection between faith and cult, an exploration of violent belief at the edge of the world.
