EDINBURGH 2026 Review: METEORS, Summerhall
It’s a beautifully written retrospection, full of evocative allegories and distinctive descriptions of what it feels like to lose someone you adore.
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THEY'RE JUST SMALL TOWN (NORTHERN) LADS, Summerhall
While the first part of the show is endearing and entertaining, featuring a healthy dose of cheesy comedy and coming-of-age humour, it could be tightened.
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: WE HAD FUN, Summerhall
Carrie-Anne Ingrouille directs the production, establishing a remarkable pace that moves the action across the timeline seamlessly.
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: NESTING, Summerhall
It’s a dark, gripping, and truly affecting project.
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THE SUBPLOT: A HYPERFIXATION ON THE TITAN SUBMERSIBLE, Summerhall
It’s an infectious, hilarious, utterly bleak theatrical adventure.
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THE CRIMES OF PETE, Pleasance Courtyard
The regime is putting all the authors to death.
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THIS IS NOT AMERICA: A RAZOR-EDGE NEW PLAY TO START YOUR DAY!, Pleasance Courtyard
Three brothers are being questioned after something terrible happened in Brooklyn.

What did our critic think of EDINBURGH 2026: REVIEW: AMY WEBBER: JOY RIDE at Hoots @ Nicolson Square?
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: 44 MINUTES, Assembly @ St Adrew Square
Directed by Michael DeFilippis, 44 Minutes is an unnerving provocation with an exhilarating plot twist.
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THIS IS HOW I GOT ARRESTED…, Zoo Playground
Slade is remarkably entertaining, but the play is, ultimately rather unoriginal.
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: GOODBYE DANDELION, Underbelly Cowgate
The show is not quite a musical, not quite a play with music.
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT GUY?, Pleasance Dome
Caleb Barron writes and directs a charmingly silly, snappy comedy.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: CHRIS CANTRILL: REWILDING, Monkey Barrel
With Rewilding, Chris Cantrill shows himself off as a veteran of his craft.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: LANDSFRAU, TechCube 0, Summerhall
The 2021 fall of Kabul marks the epicenter of LANDSFRAU, an explosive autofictional solo piece where solo artist Mariann Yar reclaims her relationship to Afghanistan.
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: RIP HER TO SHREDS, Underbelly Cowgate
Some plays feel like direct responses to other, more famous, more accomplished plays.
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: HATER, Gilded Balloon Patter House
It’s an addictive project.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: COLIN CLOUD: HOAX at Pleasance Courtyard, The Grand
World renowned mentalist and Fringe favourite Colin Cloud returns to Edinburgh with Hoax, his highly anticipated new show which challenges perceptions of truth, belief and reality.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: ROSALIE MINNITT: CLEMENTINE 2, Pleasance Courtyard, Beside
Rosalie Minnitt’s much anticipated return as Clementine begins at full throttle, with a high energy visual montage of screen images accompanied by a strikingly conflicting collection of messages about feminism, piousness, illiteracy and diary entries.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: SMASHING SHAKESPEARE: BRAVE MACBETH, Assembly
Primary Times Children's Choice Award winner! A five-star, musical comedy version of Shakespeare's greatest work, Brave Macbeth is back with a brand-new score! A hugely entertaining, fast, smart adaptation that brilliantly weaves the Bard's words with wickedly witty songs and fast-paced storytelling
Review: THE BALLAD OF JOHNNY AND JUNE, Pavilion Theatre
From the director of Jersey Boys, this exhilarating production charts the highs and lows of Johnny and June’s extraordinary relationship.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: ROSCO MCCLELLAND: THE BONES, Monkey Barrel
Rosco is back at the Fringe following two smash hit shows in 2024 and 2025.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: BOOK OF SHADOWS, Underbelly
Two puppeteers cast giant shadows to conjure a hilarious occult mystery.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: CROCODILE ROCK, Gilded Balloon
Trapped on the sleepy Scottish island of Cumbrae, seventeen-year-old Steven McPhail feels like an outsider dreading a dead-end future.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: TEAM VIKING, Pleasance Courtyard
Ten years after premiering at the Edinburgh Fringe, Team Viking returns for another send-off.
