Liam Rudden's Must See Theatre - October Edinburgh (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Did you see The Silence of the Lambs at the Festival Theatre last month? A fantastic looking production let down by a too wordy script and a particular piece of adventurous casting, one question kept running through my head as I watched it unfold, ‘Why?’ Why attempt to recreate a five time Oscar-winning film on stage? Then, having decided to do just that, why cut what is arguably the signature line, the one everybody is waiting to hear delivered live? That said, full marks to the Capital Theatre
Review: Private Peaceful ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At near 90 minutes with no interval, Simon Reade’s adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s novel, Private Peaceful, is a mammoth learn for any actor.

The Fringe was full of them, even the Traverse managed to start the first show of the day 10 minutes late one morning, the Pleasance went further with a 17 minute hold up on the second show of the day. Likely, they’ll blame audiences, but having worked the other side of the game, often it’s simply down to the venue producers not allowing adequate time between shows for a proper turn around. Cramming in shows might make money but
