Reviewer: John Roberts The Public Reviews Rating: I have to admit to not really knowing the work of Camille O’Sullivan, but I knew she had a strong fan base and that was clearly evident to the queue that ran all the way round the Assembly Rooms, down Hanover Street and spilling onto Princess Street. O’Sullivan wasn’t always a [...]

Creator: Anton Adasinsky & Derevo Director: Anton Adasinsky Reviewer: Val Baskott The Public Reviews Rating: Over many years at the Fringe no dance or physical theatre productions have challenged the intellect or received approval as much as Derevo’s.

Happily I was surprised at what I saw and ended up having a really fun [...]

Writer: Bertolt Brecht Adaptor: Alistair Beaton Reviewer: Elizabeth Vile The Public Reviews Rating: This is a production that reminded me why I love the works of Bertolt Brecht.
