EDINBURGH 2026 Review: THE REUNION, C Aurora
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 9, 2026


This uproarious road-trip comedy becomes a chance to talk about social class, parental strife, regressive opinions, and intense patriotism.

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: A BETTER MEMORY, Pleasance Courtyard
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 8, 2026


The script itself introduces too many narrative devices to be subtle. In the first 15 minutes, a variety of Chekhov’s Guns is presented to us, and the whole plot unravels before it even kicks in. The show is nonetheless very interesting in its thematic line. With AI featuring in our lives more prominently with each update, the possibility that we could transfer someone’s personality into a robot is not too far-fetched. But is this palliative use of tech worth what we could discover in the remote alcoves of someone’s consciousness? Kerr knows what he’s doing; he just needs to be a little sharper about it.

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: FATHER, AWAY SHE GOES, ZOO Playground
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 8, 2026


Meet Sarah Jones: mediocre artist, terrible friend, compulsive liar, awful narcissist. While her classmates are virtue signalling in order to get into art school, she’s busy being rejected for being herself. Or, is she? Electra Kolb writes an excellent antihero. Her debut play is a piercing examination of ambition and cruelty.

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: A MICROSCOPIC ODYSSEY, Pleasance Courtyard
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 8, 2026


Moments of quiet reflection explode into frenetic, energetic dance sequences that manifest our protagonist’s inner journey. It creates a poignant, joyous, liberating fluctuation of theatrical rhythm that results in a surprisingly well-calibrated play. It shifts our perspective and urges us away from the bigger picture, into the details, and then out into the universe again. This is the only Odyssey you need to see this summer.

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: PROPHETS, Assembly
by Natalie O'Donoghue - Aug 9, 2026


A researcher from Scotland travels to Saint John, a remote British Overseas Territory in the South Pacific. Upon arrival, she finds the island is under the control of a growing religious cult. This discovery starts to shift her studies from the land to the people as the dangerous theology of the cult is revealed and the day of paradise approaches. Prophets is a brand new two-hander drama from Fringe First-winning writer Jack MacGregor that examines the intersection between faith and cult, an exploration of violent belief at the edge of the world.

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: TRANS PEOPLE ARE AWFUL, Pleasance Courtyard
by Natalie O'Donoghue - Aug 8, 2026


Transitioning's hard, finding the right parts is harder. In a garage in North-East Scotland, a young trans guy invites you to witness his genius in hunting cis men for body parts. Armed with a camera, vivid imagination and an axe he bought on Facebook marketplace, Boy is explaining his quest to complete the perfect transition. His method (killing cis men and stealing their body parts), may be unconventional but it does bypass NHS waiting times. True crime cut up with dark comedy, Trans People are Awful dissects identity, morality and the effects of extreme loneliness.
