Smile, Dundee Rep’s football-themed online offering, transfers to the screen to provide a satisfactory record of 2020’s successful play about the legendary Jim McLean.
‘Its heart is undoubtedly in the right place’: OOR WULLIE – Touring ★★★
Oor Wullie, the touring musical from Selladoor, Dundee Rep and DC Thomson has moments of comic brilliance.
‘Strangely fascinating but oddly frustrating entertainment’: THE DARK CARNIVAL – Edinburgh ★★★
In The Dark Carnival Vanishing Point and The Citizens (in association with Dundee Rep Ensemble) have crafted a strangely fascinating but oddly frustrating entertainment – theatre-cum-gig-cum-cabaret that impresses in fits and starts.
THE LAST QUEEN OF SCOTLAND – #EdFringe ★★★
Urgent: There is undeniable promise in The Last Queen of Scotland. It is told in a voice largely absent from the stage, and presents a story which seems to have been largely forgotten, but remains desperately contemporary in so many ways.
THE CHEVIOT, THE STAG & THE BLACK, BLACK OIL – Touring
Serious fun: Tuneful, hilarious and deeply moving, Dundee Rep’s revival of The Cheviot, The Stag and The Black, Black Oil is a triumph.
THE CHEVIOT, THE STAG & THE BLACK – Dundee
It’s not often that Æ ventures to review outside Edinburgh, but being in Dundee for the opening night of the show it would be utterly churlish not to recommend a trip up to see it.
