Bark Bark (Buzzcut)

Sep 23, 2024 | threeweeksedinburgh.com | Alan Cranston

ED2024 Reviews ED2024 Theatre ReviewsBased on an intriguing idea – a dog’s eye view of the world – engaging puppetry, atmospheric dolls house settings, and good music, give this technically accomplished show a solid foundation. A cleverly designed puppet dog allows the audience to invent and then empathise with its feelings, but the dog’s perspective is ultimately little more than a low viewing angle.
Thor The Walrus (WattWhereWhy)

Sep 23, 2024 | threeweeksedinburgh.com | Alan Cranston

ED2024 Reviews ED2024 Theatre ReviewsAny play about global warming must be relatable and avoid lecturing. Claire Watt’s new play achieves this through anarchic humour which, though fully through-written, owes something to university sketch comedy. Based on the real-life story of a visit to the UK of a walrus named Thor, the action moves swiftly along, cleverly punctuated with information – and misinformation – presented by conflicted news presenters on a denialist TV channel.
Kathleen Hughes: Cryptid!

Aug 26, 2024 | threeweeksedinburgh.com | Graeme Blackmore

ED2024 Comedy Reviews ED2024 ReviewsThe show is a journey of trying to fit in. Kathleen Hughes is very likeable and has undeniably strong presenting skills: the power point style lecture was superb, and I was enthralled in parts.
Harriet Dyer: Skin (Phil McInyre Live In Association With Insanity Presents)

Aug 26, 2024 | threeweeksedinburgh.com | Graeme Blackmore

ED2024 Comedy Reviews ED2024 ReviewsHarriet Dyer is totally bonkers and what a delight that she is here: the world really needs more Harriet Dyers. Especially when she delivers such well-written and crafted work with articulate storytelling magic.
Dante And The Robot (Duncan Hodgkinson)

Aug 25, 2024 | threeweeksedinburgh.com | Alan Cranston

ED2024 Reviews ED2024 Theatre ReviewsWith a strong performance from Duncan Hodgkinson, this show offers a bleak view of life in a not-so-remote future when robots and AI have advanced as they might. Dante’s girlfriend has left, rejecting a society in which human frailty is gradually being lost as robotics increasingly become part of life itself. Dante is initially less concerned despite a soul-destroying job and anxieties about his upcoming ‘re-boot’.
Glitch (Purple Wave / Edith Alibec)

Aug 25, 2024 | threeweeksedinburgh.com | Andrew Melrose

ED2024 Reviews ED2024 Theatre ReviewsThis is a deeply emotional poignant piece of theatre, an hour-long deep monologue delivered mainly on a simple black chair. It’s a tale dealing with themes of abortion and cancer as we follow our central character as she embarks on a school reunion. Using minimal lighting, sound and production, Edith Alibec lures the audience in with stellar acting, hypnotising the audience with her words.
Milo Edwards: How Revolting! Sorry to Offend (Ingenious Fools)

Aug 25, 2024 | threeweeksedinburgh.com | Graeme Blackmore

ED2024 Comedy Reviews ED2024 ReviewsMilo is one of the smartest and most intellectual comedians on the circuit and he will tell you so repeatedly, so of course you can be guaranteed very smart and articulate comedy. He is a very hardworking comedian, and I recommend you see him soon before he hits the bigger theatres.
Hangman (Avant Theatre (Singapore))

Aug 25, 2024 | threeweeksedinburgh.com | Noel Leung

ED2024 Reviews ED2024 Theatre Reviews‘Hangman’ is an intriguing production by a Singapore troupe, exploring the struggles of two men within a system that thrives on executions. The narrative explores the similarities between an executioner and a killer, highlighting that the main difference is the executioner’s legal authority, raising questions about justice and power. This setup prompts the audience to question contemporary issues of punishment, manipulation, justice, and power.
Isabelle Farah: Nebuchadnezzar (Isabelle Farah)

Aug 24, 2024 | threeweeksedinburgh.com | Louise Jones

ED2024 Comedy Reviews ED2024 ReviewsIsabelle Farah wants to make sure the audience is comfortable. She checks on the crowd throughout the show to re-establish plot points, checks we’re following, mocks “wanker” jobs (rightly). After a while this seems to hamper the show actually progressing. Farah’s plan is to recreate the tale of Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar and the love for his queen Amytis, with a caveat that accuracy isn’t everything.
Funny Guy (Patrick Nash Presents)

Aug 24, 2024 | threeweeksedinburgh.com | Ben Flaumenhaft

ED2024 Reviews ED2024 Theatre ReviewsNear the close of ‘Funny Guy’, the eponymous neon marionette “funny guy” announces the end of “this little morality play.” That’s one way I’d describe this hour long exploration of two intertwined modern couples with marriage and career problems. I might also use the word moralising. With conflict revealed so plainly in dialogue and acting so imprecise, the characters and their problems are entirely too explicit and unnatural.
