Maria MacDonnell as Estelle in LIFE (Image: free) Review: LIFE, The Studio, Edinburgh, Neil Cooper, Three stars Art, life, and the blurring between the two are at the heart of Maria MacDonnell’s play, in which MacDonnell plays Estelle, a model at a life drawing class run by The Artist. He is the sort of pompous ass whose grand statements seem to have stepped out of the 1950s.

The Musical The Playhouse, Edinburgh When Baz Luhrmann made Moulin Rouge in 2001, the last of the Australian auteur’s ‘Red Curtain Trilogy’ after Strictly Ballroom and Romeo + Juliet was an audacious fusion of turn of the nineteenth century Paris-by-night bohemianism and contemporary pop bangers. This made for the ultimate backstage musical.
