A Queer Little Murder

Stayin’ Alive

Maggie's nan is dead, her therapist is useless, and her sister is threatening to knock her out. Maggie? She's still in her nan's house. The walls are closing in, but somewhere between the Blue Anchor pub, a couple of dodgy tribute acts and a broken Alexa, she might figure out...

Realising that his life is going nowhere, a man decides to go out in a mask and pick fights with random people on the street. He knows it's reckless and amoral, but he doesn't care – it's liberating. He feels like a "man". And as he gets a taste for it, the consequences of these...

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: CHIP AND GUS: A COMEDY WITH BALLS, Venue 45 at TheSpace

by Clementine Scott · August 14, 2026

Earlier this year, Marty Supreme made a case for ping pong as a metaphor for life’s constant ebbs and flows, and an outlet for a particular type of obsessive striver. In New York-based Fat Knight Theatre’s two-hander Chip and Gus: A Comedy with Balls, we hardly need the sport to be there at all,…

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: LEGENDARY, Friesian At Underbelly, Bristo Square

by Clementine Scott · August 14, 2026

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: JITTERS, Summerhall

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: JITTERS, Summerhall

by Cindy Marcolina · August 14, 2026

The play delights in its ambiguities. Neither character is wrong, yet they’re both somewhat problematic in their own way. They’re complex and real, yet they become the universal representatives of a broader social discourse. The script succeeds in avoiding any kind of forceful rhetoric, opting f…
