Edinburgh 2022: Review: BUFFY: REVAMPED, EICC
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 09, 2022
Seven seasons. 70 minutes. One Spike. The entire 144 episodes of cult 90s TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as told through the eyes of the one person who knows it inside out: Spike. Satirical, funny and bursting with pop-culture references, it's the perfect parody for Buffy aficionados and those who never enrolled at Sunnydale High alike.

Edinburgh 2022: Review: OUT TO LUNCH, Underbelly
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 09, 2022
Sitters has just come back from the Annual Food Writer's Awards. Coren didn't say hello. Rayner told him to piss off. Wallace thought he was staff. The final humiliation came when his face showed up in black and white on the in memoriam. In an attempt to save his failing career he strives to write the foulest review conceivable. A comedy play with songs from the writers of Boondocks, Goons, and Frog's Legs.

Edinburgh 2022: Review: BLOCK'D OFF, Pleasance Courtyard
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 08, 2022
Working-class means many things now. Everyone knows the stereotypes, but it's time to hear their voices. A father putting his hopes on his daughter's future. A couple of dealers attempting to flee the country. A tutor manipulating his way to normality. A florist always running from brutality. Another young boy, stabbed too close to home. This is a story about people trapped in the cycle of deprivation.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of large fortune must be in want of a husband.” So begins Prejudice and Pride, a gender-swapped folk musical of Jane Austen’s novel, set in modern day rural Tennessee. What follows is a humorous and warm adaptation with plenty of heart.
