It’s 1905 in the tiny village of Anatevka and Tevye, a Jewish milkman, lives his life by their proud traditions. For his five daughters, that means a visit from the matchmaker. As each daughter challenges his beliefs, against the backdrop of a changing world, can Tevye hold on to his roots, or must he bend to the will of his children and learn to embrace the unfamiliar?

EDINBURGH 2025: Review: RED LIKE FRUIT, Traverse Theatre
by Mary Baillie - August 26, 2025
Red Like Fruit is a two-hander exploring questions around consent and the suppression of women’s voices in sexual abuse claims. The staging is minimal: Lauren (Michelle Montieth) sits on a chair on a raised platform, while Luke (David Patrick Flemming) stands at a lectern on a lower level beside her, reading her story aloud. For almost the entire 70-minute performance, he speaks as her - his voice carrying her words, memories, and pain. Lauren only occasionally interjects, sparking brief moments of dialogue. But for the most part, she sits silently, gazing out at the audience as her narrative is projected through him.

EDINBURGH 2025: Review: DEISEIL: DANCING IN TIME, Venue 45 At TheSpace @ Venue 45
by Erin Roche - August 26, 2025
Deiseil in older Gaelic means “sunwise” or “clockwise”. Traditionally, moving in a deiseil motion was an act of good fortune, invoking protection; to move in widdershins (counter-clockwise) was considered unlucky. Contemporary Gaelic meaning of the word refers t being ready, prepared. “Tha mi deiseil… I am ready”.
