Little on the Inside review
Summerhall
How do you escape the same four walls, when they're all you have to look at for the next 20 years? Alice Birch’s two hander play ‘Little on the Inside’ – which was performed at the Almeida Festival last year – has the answer: with your imagination.
Birch’s script unfolds carefully and imperceptibly. It’s not clear at the beginning exactly what the relationship between the two women on stage is or where they are. From their upbeat banter we understand that they care for each other and that they are playing a remembering game. They reenact the moment they met, the moment they first talked and other moments from their time together, it’s a way of escaping the reality of being locked up together in prison.
The script is poetic, intense, clever and subtle. Occasionally it gets a little bogged down in repetition, but Birch manages to keep the intensity up enough that we are engrossed by the tumultuous, often unhappy world of these two women.
Estella Daniels and Sandra Reid give two rich, believable, heartwrenching performances. Lucy Morrison’s direction keeps us focused just on these two extraordinary performers, as their energy bounces off each other.
This is a hard work to stomach, but a beautiful one that shows us love in the darkest of places.

It's probably written down somewhere in an old dusty book of Edinburgh Fringe Rules that staging a big-scale sci-fi thriller with a complex set is Not Advisable. Science-focussed theatre company Curious Directive have clearly ignored all the rules.

Early Doors review
Pint after breakfast anyone? Noon may sound a little early to be drinking, but you’d feel out of place if you didn’t join in with the regulars during this play staged in a small Edinburgh boozer.

A Journey Round My Skull review
This unhappy love story is wedged between the stark contrasts of pure feeling and pure science. And it really gets inside your head.
