| Edinburgh Playhouse June 2010 Hydraulics on stage to create a flying car? Impressive. Directed by Adrian Noble, the whole conception of the classic musical film ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ on stage was impressive, ever changing vibrant scenery and attention to detail on the set, from the darkened stage set whilst the car rose and twisted through a seemingly starlit sky(cast on board), to the decadent sparkling Baron’s birthday party.

| Review: The Broken Window Policy

Culture
|
| 14/04/10 The Stand 8.30pm * * It's always slightly painful watching comedy that just isn't funny, especially when, like sketch troupe the Broken Window Policy, the performers are young, enthusiastic and full of energy. Sadly, such was the situation at The Stand on Wednesday night, where this group of Edinburgh students' best efforts failed to elicit more than a smattering of polite laughter from the audience.

|
| King's Theatre 6 April - 10 April 2010 * * * * * Tinged with wholesome Yorkshire vowels, Alan Bennett’s The History Boys bottles and sells sixth-form nostalgia to the appreciative audiences at King’s Theatre this week as the new touring production arrives in the city.

| Review: The Secret of Sherlock Holmes
|
|
Culture
|
| King's Theatre Run ended * * * Everyone thinks they know what to expect from Sherlock Holmes- after all, Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories of the famous sleuth have become so engrained in our culture that they need little introduction. However, those who battled through Tuesday night’s snow blizzard to sample writer Jeremy Paul’s take on the most celebrated of literary detectives were met with a refreshingly interesting angle.

| Review: The Hobbit
|

Culture
|
| Festival Theatre * * 23- 27 Mar 2010 First of all, let’s get things straight- from a single glance around the Festival Theatre, I clearly did not belong to The Hobbit’s target audience. Sitting amongst the hordes of 8 year olds however, any hope that Glyn Robbins’ adaptation of Tolkien’s classic might transcend its intended younger audience to appeal to their accompanying adults was quickly lost. |

| Review: Wuthering Heights
|
|
Culture
|
| Festival Theatre - 11 & 12 March * * * * * Claude-Michel Schönberg’s score and David Nixon’s choreography impeccably translate Emily Brontë’s timeless Wuthering Heights to the stage, producing a beautiful adaptation with clinches that speak a thousand words. The Northern Ballet Theatre were welcomed to the city last week, a company with an impressive track record here, and a weighty reputation to maintain.
