The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Scotland.
Have you ever been through a breakup? Did that breakup happen while you were trying to give each other some “space” through long distance? Are you currently living in the house next to your ex’s parents, who are trying to be nice but want you to leave? Sophie Santos is ready to tell us all abo
A girl with sunflowers in her eyes.
What do you look for in a potential partner? Someone who loves to relax at home? Someone who knows what they’re doing in life? Someone with a happy family? If so, you and Philipp Kostelecky don’t have much in common.
Funny and distinctively Beckettian, Deuteronomy is about everything and nothing.
Ambling between cheaply crafted stock characters and expanding only the lesser interesting ones, the project needs work desperately.
At this stage, it might be a bit wobbly, but promises great potential.
Written and directed by Luke Thornborough, this production hails from New Zealand with wit and charm, offering a bleak look into survival.
It’s so rare to be surrounded by the complete absence of light, that part alone is a treat in itself.
A collection of funny characters accompanies Sophie as she discovers her where she comes from.
17 Minutes is a well-crafted and emotional piece, elevated by its attention to detail in both stage design and in the cast’s performance as they bring a devastated community and fraught relationships to life.

Hailing from Australia, Elisa Riddington brings her solo show, Child of Sunday, to the Edinburgh Fringe as part of the Free Fringe programme.
Everyone has a part to play in the fight against the climate crisis, even comedians, Stuart Goldsmith argues.
It’s hard to believe there are any origin stories that haven’t been explored yet at this stage given the success of previous shows such as Unfortunate at multiple Fringe venues, but there is still one, tiny tale to be told: that of a certain fairy from JM Barrie’s Peter Pan and how she end
Big Fish is one of two shows presented by students from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
As bass blasts through the speakers of the cave-like intimate theatre, Elle Dillon-Reams bursts onstage in a sequined jumpsuit, limbs pulsing in time to the rhythms.
Abridged from Eileen Atkins’s play, the four-hander shows the visceral longing shared by the two women.
The Titanic has been in the news quite a lot this year with its endlessly fascinating, tragic story.
Pretentiously meta and absolutely bland, the piece is a paceless trudge.
Truly Siskind-Weiss’s father died when she was ten years old.
It’s all a bit chaotic and disorganised narratively, with an unfortunate lack of poetry in the text itself.
What did our critic think of OH MY HEART, OH MY HOME at Summerhall?
It’s Midsummer’s Eve, and a young man is ready to plunge into the Thames to make his sacrifice.
A deeply intimate performance by Robyn Hunter peels off the layers of bereavement and explores the reactive coping mechanisms we get wrapped up in.
