Edinburgh 2024 Review: THE MOSINEE PROJECT, Underbelly Cowgateby Katie Kirkpatrick - August 15, 2024As slick and suave as its performers’ suits, The Mosinee Project is a curious little piece of documentary theatre. It takes as its subject an experiment carried out in the American midwest in 1950: to demonstrate the threat of communism, agents staged a faux communist takeover of the small town of Mosinee. It’s a fascinating set-up, but unfortunately the show doesn’t quite live up to its intrigue. REVIEW: EDINBURGH 2024: AMOS GILL: GOING DOWN SWINGING, Underbelly, Bristo Squareby Christiana Rose - August 15, 2024Amos Gill is a naturally funny Aussie comedian with a razor-sharp wit. Gill is now based in the USA, with a background in television and radio presenting. He welcomes the audience, comparing American positivity, the uplifting enthusiasm of “It’s your year!” versus the Aussie scepticism of “The Fringe? You’ll lose thousands!” Edinburgh 2024 Review: THE LONG RUN, Pleasance Courtyardby Katie Kirkpatrick - August 14, 2024Katie Arnstein’s new show The Long Run manages to make a tricky topic into something heartfelt, warm, and even, at times, funny. Much of this is due to Arnstein’s welcoming, accessible style of storytelling – as an audience member, it feels like she’s speaking to you directly, with the perfect balance of confidence and vulnerability. Her distinct writing style features plenty of quips, puns, and self-aware nods, making it feel real as opposed to hidden behind theatrical artifice. Review: EDINBURGH 2024: ARCADE, Summerhallby Christiana Rose - August 15, 2024In the spirit of exploring something potentially out of my comfort zone at the Fringe, I threw caution to the wind and tried an immersive audio gaming adventure. Review: EDINBURGH 2024: IN DEFIANCE OF GRAVITY, Summerhallby Christiana Rose - August 15, 2024In Defiance of Gravity is concerned with the historical figures of Prince Felix Yusupov, 1887 – 1967 a Russian aristocrat from the House of Yusupov, well known for partaking in the assassination of Grigori Rasputin in 1916, and marrying Princess Irina Alexandrovna, a niece of Emperor Nicholas II.
Review: EDINBURGH 2024 WEATHER GIRL, Summerhallby Christiana Rose - August 15, 2024Brian Watkins, the creator of hit Amazon TV series Outer Range brings the World Premiere of his play Weather Girl to the Edinburgh Fringe in a collaboration with the award-winning producers of Fleabag, Baby Reindeer and Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder.
Edinburgh 2024 Review: UGLY SISTERS, Underbelly Cowgateby Katie Kirkpatrick - August 12, 2024Ugly Sisters is one of those shows that leave you wondering what on earth you just watched – and then stays stuck in the back of your mind for days to follow. This follow-up to 52 Monologues for Young Transsexuals features a leafblower, a ballgown, nudity, dirt, and controversial feminist Germaine Greer. It’s a lot, sure, but in this bold, ambitious production, the result is a piece of theatre like no other.
