Skin @ The Pleasance Courtyard (Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017) Review

Gender is a topic that has really gripped the West in recent years. A societal construct, gender has been placed under the microscope and analysed, with ideas being challenged and redifined. Gender forms a part of our identities, who we identify as most definitely shapes how we are seen and treated by others.

The Unmarried @ The Underbelly (Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017) Review

We find ourselves living in a time whereby expectations of marriage and settling down have shifted. The age and pace in which these rites of passage are expected to occur have been pushed back at least a decade. Relationship-wise, it’s becoming socially acceptable to be a young female and single, and this is a right that Lauren Gauge explores in her unapologetically defiant one woman show, The Unmarried.IMG_1642

Lula Del Ray @ The Underbelly (Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017) Review

Picture the scene, it’s the 1950s and a new wave of music is taking the world by storm, toe tapping melodies, poetic verses, catchy choruses,  upbeat singing tones… it’s the era of manufactured pop. Thousands upon thousands of screaming fans await the arrival of the latest pop phenomenon of the moment as they disembark from a plane or take to the stage. These iconic images will forever mark out the beginnings of pop culture for many years to come.

MANWATCHING @ Roundabout Summer Hall (Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017) Review

Being a woman is not always easy and with the inability to talk about many topics, masturbation is a secretive revelation within the world of women. What feels like adult story time, settling down to a tale read by virginal monologue reader and performer Stuart Goldsmith, MANWATCHING claims a power and with great power comes great responsibility, discussing the female orgasm and many fantasies in its wake.

A Hunger Artist (Kafka Adaptation) @ Zoo Venues, (Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017) Review

Authentic in craft and narrative, A Hunger Artist produces a rich circus aesthetic which transports you to the ‘Big Top’. A red, gold, fringed curtain sets the stage for imagination and this striking piece of theatre delivers an enviable range of theatrical skills. An adaptation of Kafka’s impressionable short story, Sinking Ship Productions, brings a prepossessing production which is ingeniously constructed.
