The Sound of Music - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. A fantastic matinee today at Pitlochry Festival Theatre. As good, if not better, than last year’s, with shout outs to Maria, Captain Von Trapp and the Mother Abbess. And every actor plays at least one instrument! Get tickets if you can. 🎭 🎵 👏 👏 #thesoundofmusic

La Boheme - some you win; others you lose. This just didn’t click for me. Left at the interval so no score from me. 🎭 🎶 @scottishopera.bsky.social

Black hole sign - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Things unravel on shift at an under-staffed, under-valued A&E. I think I was the only non-nurse in the crowd. As senior charge nurse Crea asks, what really is the vision for our NHS? 🎭 @traversetheatre.bsky.social @trontheatre.bsky.social

Mary, Queen of Scots - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The story of two cousins and Queens, told through the eyes of a dying Elizabeth. Great to see again after its launch at the Edinburgh International Festival. (16 Oct) 🩰

The Talented Mr Ripley - ⭐️⭐️⭐️. Strong performances by Tom and Dickie; great set. But maybe 10-15 minutes too long. Loved catching up with Laura. 🎭 #numbbum

Fiddler on the Roof - ⭐️⭐️⭐️. That feels wrong, because the performance was mostly top quality. But it just wasn’t my sort of show - perhaps too close to the truth?! I’m really glad I saw it though; and grateful for the pre- and post-show tours. 🎭 (11 Sep)

A trip today to Fast Castle. It's a straightforward path, but very steep. Definitely walking / hiking boots and I wouldn't want to do it in the rain. #castle #fortress #scotland #berwickshire #borders #scottishborders #coldingham #stabbs #historicscotland

So that’s our Edinburgh Festival done for 2025. 17 shows in 23 days; 6 venues; at least 541 performers.
Two of many highlights: Orpheus and Eurydice, and Mary, Queen of Scots. But the whole month has been fantastic. Thanks to all involved.
We’ve got one Fringe show to go! 🎭 🎻 🎵 🩰 🏴 #EdIntFest

Pop off, Michelangelo! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️. A musical comedy starring him and his ‘brother’, Leonardo da Vinci. It’s not for the faint-hearted or Vatican-friendly, what with the ‘gay orgy’ references and all. Really good fun and, with some tidying, could be the next Six. 🎭 🎵 @edfringe.bsky.social #edfringe2025

Figures in extinction - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. A dance in three acts: the extinction of the natural world; the mind and needs of humans; and a requiem for life, time and the dead. A powerful performance and our last at the Festival Theatre. 🎭 #edintfest

The Essence of Audrey - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The life and times of Audrey Hepburn, speaking, playing and singing to the audience. From Holland to Switzerland, via London, Rome and Hollywood. Absolutely fantastic. Our last Fringe show at the Pleasance. 🎭 @edfringe.bsky.social #edfringe2025

Faustus in Africa! - ⭐️⭐️. Puppets demonstrating mankind’s exploitation of Africa. There was potential in the storyline and graphics, but it jumped about too much and the puppets mostly added confusion. The crowd looked relieved by the end. 🎭 #edintfest @lyceumedinburgh.bsky.social
