Mesmerising: High production values and a compelling narrative make Ross MacKay and Suzie Miller’s atmospheric Victorian mystery, Velvet Evening Seance, a suitably haunting experience.
Comes good: Out of the Bad, by Fair Pley at the New Town Theatre, is a warm and politically informed production distinguished by outstanding performances.
Gripping: Adam McNamara’s outstanding Stand By profoundly examines the relationship between four officers amidst the unpredictable rhythms of life on the job.
Charming: Death in Venice, Thomas Mann’s 1912 novella, is a graceful spin in a dance theatre adaptation full of character from Edinburgh Ballet Circle.
Judicious and hilarious: There is a great deal that is hugely appealing, both in content and in assured comic performances, in Doig the Musical, With No Singing, No Dancing and Very Little Music at theSpace on the Mile.
Authentic humour: Indie As F*ck, Pinched! Theatre’s comic play with songs about teenage aspirations and disappointments, remains an engaging night out.
