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. Like many others, Scout is searching for the truth of who she is in places she doesn't belong, learning that there is a difference between who someone really is and who t…
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: A QUEER LITTLE MURDER, Gilded Balloon Patter House
US comic Savannah Hankinson loves murder mysteries. So much so, in fact, that when she hears a bloodcurdling scream, her response is to shout with glee, “I’ve found the body!”.…
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: EDINBURGH DAYS, St Bride's Community Centre
A gripping tale of love, violence, and the moral ambiguity of survival, soundtracked by the incredible Brian Spence.…
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: ERIC'S TALES OF THE SEA-A SUBMARINER'S YARN, Just the Tonic at the Caves
It turns out a shark's skin is incredibly rough because it's made of tiny tooth like scales, and Eric would definitely not recommend diving feet first onto one.…
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: ELF LYONS IS THE WOMAN ON THE EDGE, Beyond At Pleasance Courtyard
The Fringe is full of women on the edge, but none quite like Elf Lyons. From the word go, Lyons is teetering on her tiptoes, as though wearing heels she’s not quite comfortable in, clad in a taffeta minidress slipping down from her shoulders, and affecting an accent that lands somewhere between Ru…
