EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THE WETNESS, Just The Tonic At The Caves
What did our critic think of THE WETNESS at Just The Tonic At The Caves?…
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: REMEMBER, REMEMBER!, Pleasance Dome
This might be the next Fringe hit musical. Mel Brooks marries Monty Python to give birth to the rightful heir to the throne vacated by Six. The Gunpowder Plot receives the Operation Mincemeat treatment, with a generous dash of blasphemous revisionism and plenty of scrumptious anachronisms. This irre…
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: STAY A LITTLE LONGER, Pleasance Courtyard
Her (Rachel Nicholson) and Him (Charlie Sheepshanks) met at university and have been together ever since. Twelve years later, they need to talk about something specific, and it has nothing to do with the fact that they’re getting married in three months. Tom Foreman writes and directs a pompous lo…
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: ALREADY HERE, Gilded Balloon Patter House
SJ Hodges writes and stars in a very unchallenging take on AI, intimacy, and grief, introducing a woman who believes in love in spite of her tragic history. Susan hides behind a caustic facade. She’s sarcastic and snappy, direct and sensitive. Hodges is romantic and sentimental in her script, taki…
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: HAPPIEST I'VE EVER BEEN, Just The Tonic At The Caves
It’s an endearing mix of sweet darkness and bitter resentment. Young and Archibald collaborate on a friendly, colloquial script that balances its tonal subtext exceptionally well, and delivered by two actors who share a delightful chemistry, riffing off the fears and expectations of each other’s…

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: PINK RABBIT (Preview), Underbelly Bristo Square
This is a delight of a play. It’s hilarious, uncomfortable, tender, thought-provoking, and utterly captivating. Amna, a young Pakistani Muslim girl, has just turned 18. Desperate to carve out an identity for herself after feeling invalidated in her super conservative household, she opens an OnlyF…
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: IN THE BLACK, Underbelly Bristo Square
In prison, a young Black man tells his story. Good with numbers, charismatic, and highly driven by ambition, he details how he went from being a scrappy kid with a demanding father in New York City to earning a $1 million bonus before landing himself in prison. Quaz Degraft’s bleak view of family …
Film Review: DAVID BYRNE'S AMERICAN UTOPIA, In Cinemas
Directed by Spike Lee, David Byrne’s American Utopia is a filmed version of David Byrne’s Broadway stage show, which itself is inspired by the record of the same name. The show ran twice on Broadway, first from 2019 to 2020 and then from 2021 to 2022. As someone who saw American Utopia ten times…
