BWW Reviews: TAYLOR MAC, The Arches, May 5 2013
by Natalie O'Donoghue - May 08, 2013

Nothing quite strikes fear in my heart upon entering a performance like the words 'audience participation'. Opening with Tori Amos' Precious Things, Taylor Mac pulled an unsuspecting audience member onstage to provide backing vocals....

EDINBURGH 2012: BWW Reviews: WITHOUT YOU, Underbelly, August 16
by Carrie Dunn - August 21, 2012

It's not often one gets to see a live performance by an actor who originated a role on Broadway so conclusively that every other take on the part (in this case, Mark Cohen in RENT) seems like an imitation. Visitors to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe can do just that this year by attending Without You,...

EDINBURGH 2012: BWW Reviews: ASHER TRELEAVEN: TROUBADOUR, Gilded Ballon, August 15
by Michael Elm - August 20, 2012

To call the audience sparse at Asher Treleaven's Troubadour would be an understatement. I think he learnt the names of roughly half the audience; with a further member of the audience a respected musical musician needing no introduction. It was the presence of this comedian that meant I was more und...

by Carrie Dunn - August 13, 2012

Having whipped Fringe audiences into something of a big gay frenzy last year with their enormously charming and very much sold-out offering 'Little Shop of Homos', the London Gay Men's Chorus Ensemble - a new name; last year they were known as Far From Kansas - are back. 'Hi-De-Homo', their holiday ...

EDINBURGH 2012: BWW Reviews: FLANEURS, Summerhall, August 8
by Carrie Dunn - August 09, 2012

There are two kinds of people in the world, says storyteller Jenna Watt: bystanders and flâneurs. The former are those who see a stranger in the midst of a random attack such as a mugging, and dismiss their responsibility to the stranger in need. The latter, the flâneurs of the world, are those who ...
