EDINBURGH 2026 Review: 44 MINUTES, Assembly @ St Adrew Square
Directed by Michael DeFilippis, 44 Minutes is an unnerving provocation with an exhilarating plot twist. It’s a solid exploration of self-preservation and vengeance, featuring a broader reflection on suspicion, mistrust, and cruelty. John Billingsley, Dorian Missick, Christopher Ryan, and Matthew P…
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THIS IS HOW I GOT ARRESTED…, Zoo Playground
Slade is remarkably entertaining, but the play is, ultimately rather unoriginal. The story strictly relies on a classist trope and only offers a superficial exploration of the class discourse. Yet, her gags are funny and the structural form makes it worth seeing. Danny Dyer would get a proper a kick…
EDINGURGH 2026 Review: GOODBYE DANDELION, Underbelly Cowgate
The show is not quite a musical, not quite a play with music. Marcus accompanies Maddie on the piano, adding a dreamy aura to her prose when he isn’t suspending the narrative action altogether with facts about aging or other adjacent conversations. The result is a blithe, sentimental, almost roman…
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT GUY?, Pleasance Dome
Caleb Barron writes and directs a charmingly silly, snappy comedy. As the trio work on their ruse, researching Guy and his sudden retirement, scenarios glide into one another and the actors swap characters with confidence. A dynamic, beckoning comic rhythm is established. The storytelling is intrica…

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: RIP HER TO SHREDS, Underbelly Cowgate
Some plays feel like direct responses to other, more famous, more accomplished plays. There’s a lot of John Proctor Is The Villain in Rip Her To Shreds, but we’re not entirely sure we mean it in a good way. Like Kimberly Belflower’s, Isabelle Barbier’s drama deals with female rage and social…
EDINBURGH 2026 Review: HATER, Gilded Balloon Patter House
It’s an addictive project. As our antihero loses the plot and her sabotages become more wacky and extreme, an early allegory of Leung’s comes up again and again, pushing the character (and the Hater) towards a reckoning of sorts. There’s no resolution, no answer to her obsessive compulsion, ju…
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: CROCODILE ROCK, Gilded Balloon
Trapped on the sleepy Scottish island of Cumbrae, seventeen-year-old Steven McPhail feels like an outsider dreading a dead-end future. He desperately needs an escape – and he's about to find it. When a dazzling encounter with a flamboyant stranger opens his eyes, Steven steps out of the shadows to…
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: TEAM VIKING, Pleasance Courtyard
Ten years after premiering at the Edinburgh Fringe, Team Viking returns for another send-off. The remarkable, hilarious and heart-lifting story of how James managed to give his best mate the send-off he wanted. A comic ode to death, friendship and the beautiful absurdity of life.…
