by Fiona Scott - August 04, 2019
Many are familiar with the tradition of singing 'Auld Lang Syne' at the end of ceilidhs, or to bring in the new year. How much do we know of what the man who wrote it left behind?

A cast of 12 stunning demi-gods, with a love of stones much like Makka Pakka (see In the Night Garden on CBeebies) and a need to be at one with mystical gravel, begin to empty buckets of said gravel, which is then strewn across the stage utterly gloriously, creating a vision of turquoise light and dust.

Last seen at the Fringe with Cathy in 2017, Cardboard Citizens return with an eye-opening collection of homeless histories. Are we mere bystanders?

EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: DROWNING, Pleasance Courtyard
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 02, 2019
What makes a killer? What makes the yearning for connection and friendship so great that you would do anything? How does a mind justify the most terrifying act? In 1991, four Austrian nurses were charged with murdering 49 patients in their beds, but were suspected of killing up to 200. The world premiere of this blistering new play by Jessica Ross, directed by Steven Roy and executive produced by Matrix star Carrie-Anne Moss, forces us to confront all we deem evil, horrible, and hideous. Look carefully enough, and we might just see a little bit of ourselves.
