Theatre review: We Need to Talk About Bobby (Off EastEnders)

Edinburgh Festival Fringe: Aspiring child actress Annie achieves the dream '“ a major role in a continuing drama '“ but her pushy though well-meaning parents fail to spot their daughter's decline when she succumbs to the pressures of being a child star in an adult world.

ZOO Southside (Venue 82)

**

We Need to Talk About Bobby (Off EastEnders) does a fairly credible job of teasing out those relationships, but the melodramatic ending is, perhaps appropriately, strictly soap opera.

Until 28 August. Today 12:40pm.
