EDINBURGH 2018: BWW Review: TREMOR, Summerhall
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 17, 2018
Sherman Theatre: Regional Theatre of the Year - The Stage Awards 2018. Once our lives are touched by tragedy, can we ever truly move on? Sophie and Tom's relationship fell apart in the aftermath of a catastrophe. Four years on and as they come face to face once again, the aftershocks of that fateful day can still be felt. Tremor is a play about now. It's about how we choose to see things and live our lives in a world riven with anxiety and division.

by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 17, 2018
Oh look, the multi award-winning duo Sh!t Theatre return with their 100% sell-out show from 2017. It's about Dolly Parton and we still f*cking love her. It's also about cloning, branding, immortality and death.

EDINBURGH 2018 - BWW Review: USER NOT FOUND, Traverse at Jeelie Piece Cafe
by Amy Hanson - August 16, 2018
Terry's partner Luka left him six months ago. As he sits in his usual cafe, sipping on a cup of tea, a series of unexpected condolence messages ping into his phone. Luka has died, but has appointed Terry as his digital executor, the person with the power to decide what happens to his online presence after death.

EDINBURGH 2018: BWW Review: CLOSED DOORS, Summerhall
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 16, 2018
Critically acclaimed musicians Novasound collaborate with playwright and performer Belle Jones to present Closed Doors - a story told through music. Three diverse artists combine spoken word, rhythm and an exhilarating live score to create this dynamic piece of theatrical storytelling. Inspired by the reality of a multicultural neighbourhood in Glasgow, Closed Doors refuses to recognise genre boundaries as it tackles questions of identity, community and isolation with rigour and heart.

EDINBURGH 2018 - BWW Review: LOOP, Underbelly Cowgate
by Amy Hanson - August 15, 2018
In Loop, three generations of the same family are all united by their love of the music of their own time, but often struggle to relate to one another. Music is the the way a generation defines itself, but the hits of one decade are so often dismissed as incomprehensible rubbish by those still obsessed by the music of their own heyday, drawing this theatrical compilation album into a metaphor for an inter-generational failure to connect.

EDINBURGH 2018 - BWW Review, RIK CARRANZA: STILL A FAN, Gilded Balloon Rose Theatre
by Amy Hanson - August 15, 2018
Rik Carranza is a devoted Trekkie, but it wasn't always a badge he wore with pride. In Still A Fan, a work that's more storytelling with jokes than a conventional stand-up show, Carranza takes us through his life so far, from growing up mixed-raced in Scotland, through bullying, depression, a suicide attempt and attempts to be 'normal', before finding happiness in being able to be his nerdy self.

EDINBURGH 2018: BWW Review: 3 YEARS, 1 WEEK AND A LEMON DRIZZLE, Underbelly
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 15, 2018
The show pieces together Alexandra and Kate Donnachie's sometimes heartbreaking but often hilarious memories of growing up together and managing their close bond when older sister, Alexandra, developed a severe eating disorder. When Alexandra (finally) decided to ask Kate what that time was like for her, she began cooking up ideas for this autobiographical show - albeit before Kate agreed to be in it. This is a performance that recalls on touching memories, shares laugh-out-loud anecdotes and melts Mars bars to bring to stage a story about living with an eating disorder.

EDINBURGH 2018: BWW Review: DANGEROUS GIANT ANIMALS, Underbelly
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 15, 2018
A kick. A scream. A tantrum. With a disabled sister, what's allowed? What's forbidden? Dangerous Giant Animals is a darkly comedic show about finding your voice amid your sister's screams. Funny and daring, this new one-woman play explores how surreal, challenging, and remarkable disability in a family can be. Featuring divas and dinosaurs, this is a middle child story about growing up too soon alongside a sister who never will.

by Matt Elliot - August 15, 2018
Larry Dean came to my attention earlier this year after catching him on BBC One's Live at the Apollo and the new Comedy Central show, Roast Battle. He is definitely a rising star and one of Scotland's fastest-growing comedians.

A celebration of Heaven and Hell and everything in between! Cirque Alfonse, the creators that brought you the five-star, Fringe 2015 sell-out hit Barbu, return with a brand-new show. Daring, raucous, eccentric and downright fun, Tabarnak combines edge-of-your-seat circus with crazy cabaret acts and a heart-thumping live score.

BWW Review: TRUMP THE MUSICAL, C Venues

EDINBURGH 2018: BWW Review: CHRIS FORBES: PROPHECY, Gilded Balloon Teviot
by Fraser MacDonald - August 13, 2018
It's safe to say you will never listen to Wonderwall the same again but for a light-hearted exploration of religion, and a little bit of theology along the way, Prophecy is a safe bet for those seeking something more than just comedy this Fringe season.

EDINBURGH 2018: BWW Review: ANNIE, Rose Theatre
by Fraser MacDonald - August 13, 2018
The chorus of young orphans are a talented young bunch, and paired with the brilliantly boozy Miss Hannigan (Hazel Beattie), they easily rival recent big-budget tours of the show. Sally Lyall's direction shines particular in an early fight scene between the orphans, an example of the attention to detail in this production.

EDINBURGH 2018: BWW Review: PICKLE JAR, Underbelly
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 13, 2018
It's hard keeping it together when your whole life is falling apart. But the pressures of teaching, Tinder and outrageous Irish best mates are a lot to juggle, especially when you're stumbling through the maze of trying to be a grown-up. Stranger danger, heartbreak and piña coladas are on the syllabus in the hilarious debut play Pickle Jar, written and performed by Maddie Rice, the critically acclaimed star of the smash-hit Fleabag UK and international tour.

EDINBURGH 2018: BWW Review: WEIRD, Pleasance Courtyard
by Natalie O'Donoghue - August 13, 2018
Yasmin feels different, she feels weird. She longs to be normal like everyone else but that's proving difficult... Based on the writer's experiences, WEIRD explores the highs and lows of what it is like for a sufferer, and a sufferer's family, to live in the shadows of obsessive compulsive disorder. Moving one-woman play about the effects of one person's mental health on a whole family. Sell-out Arcola show, winner of Slam-Soaps 2018.
