EDINBURGH 2026 Review: I THINK I HATE ACTORS, Just The Tonic At The Caves
Roo Sutcliffe is funny. Properly funny. Her gags are clever, and her physicality is equally remarkable. Thank goodness her mothers sat through her dramatic readings of The Hungry Caterpillar while she was dressed as Elton John when she was a child and subsequently sold their cat to afford her traini…
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: SANCTUARY, Pleasance Dome
What did our critic think of SANCTUARY at Pleasance Dome?…

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: LETTERS TO JOAN – A LOVELY NEW PLAY, Pleasance Courtyard

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…
