Lon/Edi23 Day4/Show4: Gripping, fascinating play transferred from @AlmeidaTheatre to the West End, explores the rise of Putin and the Russian Oligarchs. Wonderful central performance by Tom Hollander as Boris Berezovsky. We should be worried about Russia #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi23 Day3/Show3: Spectacular Guys & Dolls @_bridgetheatre reminded me why it’s one of my fave musicals. Ingenious staging, platforms rise/fall, standing audience constantly have to move/reconfigure. If I had more time in London I’d go again. Brilliant #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi23 Day2/Show2: A charming As You Like It @TheRSC in Stratford-on-Avon. Played across ages with a wonderful collection of ‘veteran’ actors - great fun. #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi23 Day1/Show1: Brilliant Ivo Van Hove stage adaptation of the book A Little Life. Staged with his signature use of screens / technology, but a bit more restrained. Harrowing, exhausting, with wonderful performances from all #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day16/Show45: Final show of @edfringe 2019 for me! #Fishbowl - ingenious physical/visual theatre show, utilising amazing set and very skilled mime - the joke wore thin a little for me, could be 15 mins shorter, but great fun. #HowManyShowsIn16Days? 45, that’s how many!

Lon/Edi19 Day15/Show44: Change of pace tonight - a little stand-up. @Sarah_Kendall was funny and clever. Can’t ask for more. Comedy reflection on how we use stories to make sense of the world. Tricky time for storytellers, with fact/fiction interchangeable. #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day15/Show43: Gig theatre alive and well at @edfringe. @WildcardTheatre #Electrolyte at @ThePleasance is great example, driven by great script flipping between prose and performance poetry, strong band and stunning central performance. Recommended #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day15/Show42: @rhumandclay #TheWarOfTheWorlds @ThePleasance - terrific, multi-layered theatre piece. Not a re-telling of HG Wells. Ingeneously explores storytelling in age of fake news, spinning off from Orson Welles’ famous broadcast. Recommended #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day15/Show41: #TheFishermen @AssemblyFest Wonderful, energetic performances bring this imaginative, physical adaptation of a Nigerian novel to life. Two brothers reunite on the riverbank where years earlier tragedy began to destroy their family. #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day14/Show40: #CrocodileFever @traverse @LyricBelfast Bonkers, brilliant writing. Pitch-perfect performances. Tragic family comedy set in N.Ireland during the troubles. Starts out all Martin McDonagh then descends into hilarious absurdist fantasy. #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day14/Show39: A community production (so different critical lens) of a new musical. Great idea for show - true story of a slave who posted himself to freedom in a box. Some great singing, but show is let down by the book and unimaginative staging #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day14/Show38: Always great to see @BabaBrinkman in action - this time with the next in his Rap Guide series -#TheRapGuideToCulture. Ingenious, thought-provoking, science rap from one of the most intelligent performers you’ll find at @edfringe #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day14/Show37: #AHolyShow @VerdantProduct1 @ThePleasance is a sweet, funny, sharp script, skilfully performed. Inspired by the very bizarre real 1981 hijacking of an Aer Lingus flight. Very enjoyable. @#HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day14/Show36: A little too energetically performed comedy monologue about a young Irish lad saving his hometown via the Eurovision song contest. #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day13/Show34: #Enough @traversetheatre - Two female flight attendants’ friendship falls apart under the pressure of being working women in a world designed for men. A strong work, good writing, performances, though felt it a bit long in the setup. #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day13/Show33: #Mouthpiece @traversetheatre - extraordinary writing, stunning central performance. One of the best works I’ve seen in 10 @edfringe’s. Blistering reminder how theatre can appropriate the voice of ‘the voiceless’, instead of listening #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day13/Show32: Another astounding work from @timcrouch1964 @edintfest Don’t want to give it away. An incredible collective experience - the audience is integral, complicit, enabling. The end of the world (or not), manipulation, belief, our future. #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day13/Show31: @TheClaimShow @painesplough roundabout @Summerhallery - Clever absurdist script, tightly performed. Really exposes the frustration asylum seekers must feel trying to get the bureaucracy to understand their story and needs. #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day12/Show30: #SuperSunday @RaceHorseCie @FollowTheCow is Six crazy Finnish lads with wicked circus skills, doing some bizarre, crazy, funny, dangerous and incredible things. So Much Fun. Recommended. #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day12/Show29: Appropriate at @Summerhallery is a tight little Irish comedy monologue that turns serious. Good performance, entertaining, but it takes a lot to stand out at @edfringe #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day12/Show28: Great to finally see Patricia Cornelius’ play ‘Shit’ @Summerhallery, having missed it in Aus. Powerful, grim stuff. Wonderful performances, loved the choreographed movement and mime sequences. #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi23 Day3/Show3: Spectacular Guys & Dolls @_bridgetheatre reminded me why it’s one of my fave musicals. Ingenious staging, platforms rise/fall, standing audience constantly have to move/reconfigure. If I had more time in London I’d go again. Brilliant #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day11/Show24: Another great show @traversetheatre. More a staged, themed concert - no narrative you could really follow. But brilliantly performed by the young cast from @BACBeatboxAcad and beautifully staged. After show battles were incredible. #HowManyShowsIn16Days?

Lon/Edi19 Day12/Show26: Have to say I endured more than enjoyed this. Undeniably skilled performance, but overstayed its welcome after 10 minutes or so. I guess when you’re trying to push the envelope, paper cuts are a possibility. Very @edfringe experience #HowManyShowsIn16Days?
