Theatre reviews: One Day in Spring | The Fashion Floor | 27
David Greig’s collaboration with Arab writers is creating exhilarating results at Oran Mor, while Abi Morgan’s 27 is back – shorter, leaner and magnificently performed
Theatre review: .H.G., Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
NOT suitable for children under nine, says the stern note in the Imaginate brochure about Trickster of Switzerland’s audio installation show .h.g., playing in the studio behind the Modern Art Gallery until today.
Theatre review: Kindur, Musselburgh Brunton Theatre
IN THE last few years, Iceland has acquired an iconic status in Europe, as the little nation that found itself at the centre of the 2008 global banking crash, but somehow managed to survive.
Theatre review: The Last Polar Bears, Sorn, Ayrshire
SOMETIME today, in a small town in Ayrshire, several dozen children on bikes will ride out from the local primary school, to meet another group of cyclists coming into town. The new arrivals may be a little wet and windswept, after a journey of 20 miles or so.
Theatre review: This (Baby) Life, North Edinburgh Arts Centre
IF THEATRE has its roots in the adult impulse of communities to mourn their griefs and mock their rulers, it can be hard to see what this art form might have to offer very small babies.
Theatre review: This (Baby) Life, North Edinburgh Arts Centre
IF THEATRE has its roots in the adult impulse of communities to mourn their griefs and mock their rulers, it can be hard to see what this art form might have to offer to very small babies.
Theatre review: Anne Boleyn, Edinburgh Festival Theatre
SOME political deaths send a shiver down the ages that reaches far beyond the small circle of historical scholarship.
Theatre reviews: Paperbelle | Titus | Traverse | Rumpelstiltskin
THEY say that we human beings are born alone, and that in the end, we die alone.
Theatre review: Wonderful Town
FOREVER associated with her portrayal of Maria in The Sound of Music, Connie Fisher brings the requisite pep and sparkle to this feel-good revival, leading an effervescent cast in a production that’s almost 60 years old, but which gleams with the polished sheen of a cared-for classic.
Theatre review: Damascus Aleppo
THERE’S no doubting the potential of this latest show in the Play, Pie and Pint lunchtime season inspired by events in the Arab world over the past year.
Theatre review: No Time for Art 0 & 1, Glasgow Tron Theatre
THE show is called No Time For Art, and it is as good as its word.
Theatre review: Roman Bridge, Citizens’ Theatre, Glasgow
WHAT a strange, dour and disturbing event is Martin Travers’ first full-length play, premiered at the Citizens’ Circle Studio as part of the National Theatre of Scotland’s Reveal season of new work.
Theatre review: Macbeth In Scots, St Ninian’s Hall, Edinburgh
WITH the 2012 World Shakespeare Festival celebrating its first performances in London and Stratford, there’s no denying the great central paradox of Shakespeare’s work; that despite his breathtaking poetic re-invention of the English language, his drama is still not wholly dependent on the presence of that original text.

WITH a whoosh of theatrical energy, a star is born, in this week’s Play, Pie and Pint show; or perhaps two stars, in a single lunchtime.

Theatre reviews: Fatherland/Motherland, The Arches, Glasgow
WHEN Nic Green first burst on to The Arches scene a few years ago, with her remarkable Trilogy, it was clear that there was a fierce new creative intelligence on the block.
Theatre reviews: Comedy of Errors | Twelfth Night; RSC, Stratford-upon-Avon
AMIR Nizar Zuabi’s production of The Comedy of Errors embodies the internationalism of this year’s World Shakespeare Festival.
Theatre review: Chicago, Edinburgh Playhouse
FROM Corrie’s Kelly Crabtree to Chicago’s Velma Kelly, Tupele Dorgu has come a long way. While Velma is a “merry murderess”, Dorgu steals the show.
Theatre review: 7 Days Drunk, Glasgow Arches
BRYONY Kimmings’ relationship with alcohol began, rather messily, in childhood. And while the performance artist isn’t an alcoholic, she’s convinced of the link between drinking and creativity.
Theatre review: King Lear, Glasgow Citizens’ Theatre
A SENSE of occasion hardly begins to describe the tingling mood of anticipation at the Citizens’ Theatre, on the opening night of the show that marks David Hayman’s return to classical theatre on the Citizens’ stage, after an absence of more than three decades.

BOILING Shakespeare’s most exciting, gorily visceral play down to an hour, this absorbing adaptation of the Scottish Play from Theatre Jezebel engages from the outset and never relinquishes its grip.
