EDINBURGH 2026: Review: GIRLFRIENDS-A NOT SO STRAIGHT PLAY, Greenside @ George Street
Travel across the USA as two strangers become star-crossed soulmates, the whir of the fans like the constant hum of a car engine.

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: STITCH IN TIME: A KNITTING CABARET, TheSpace @ Surgeons Hall
In a light-hearted version of a Ted talk (or perhaps a more approachable meeting of the WRI), the audience is led on a musical journey in a knitted boat. Melanie Gall is committed to honouring the craft, encouraging discourse about it, and refuses to let it fall out of fashion.…

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: ELF LYONS IS THE WOMAN ON THE EDGE, Beyond At Pleasance Courtyard
