Traverse Theatre (Venue 15) “David Ireland’s new play explodes on to the stage like an ill-tempered but witty hurricane. A would-be liberal theatre director and a famous Hollywood actor confront Ruth, a young woman writer from Northern Ireland whose play – featuring a fierce Ulster Loyalist hero – neither of them has read with much respect or real comprehension.”
JOYCE MCMILLAN what to do with it.” JOYCE MCMILLAN JJJJJ
Gilded Balloon Teviot (Venue 14) “Educational, informative and entertaining, The Birds and the Beats is positively Reithian. Except the BBC’S first director general never did what Busé does with a microphone at the end of the show.”
MARTIN GRAY ridiculously funny. In each of his three shows, there is a beautifully written core script.”

Pleasance Courtyard (Venue 33)
“How do you solve a problem like Brexit? And for dejected Remainers, how do you make it funny? Fortunately, Kieran Hodgson has achieved the near-impossible and made the common market hilarious.”
