Review: BLUE, Seven Dials Playhouse Photo Review: BLUE, Seven Dials Playhouse
by Cindy Marcolina - March 09, 2024

It’s easy to understand why Blue garnered excellent reviews and a Fringe First Award for their run in Edinburgh last year. It’s an intense, alarming, carefully eloquent, and raw achievement.
