Review: Warm as Summer, Bright as Blood, Fringe 2025

August 13, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood 4 Comments

A meticulously crafted folk fantasy, Cloud’s “Warm as Summer, Bright as Blood” transitions from melancholy to defiant anger. This is a show for the weird and wonderful, with great choreography and a powerful narrative.

Review: Of Fire and Flame, Fringe 2025

August 13, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Of Fire and Flame is a one-woman show that’s both a hilarious parody of the romantasy genre and a poignant reflection on chronic pain. Lily Edwards’s superb performance is a treasure, balancing comedy and a serious, moving story.

Review: Fun at Parties, Fringe 2025

August 12, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Berlin Open Theatre’s Fun at Parties is a fast-moving, energetic dive into Berlin’s club scene. A fantastic all-female cast explores friendship and burnout in a drug-hazed world where the ‘fun’ is a coping mechanism.

Review: Hahaha–Hamlet, Fringe 2025

August 12, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This fresh, musical rendition of Hamlet from Hong Kong performers is a must-see. It mixes Shakespeare with modern stories and sharp political commentary, all with a lively energy and a sense of humour that’s infectious.

Review: Catching a Cheese Pervert – A Frances Francis Mystery, Fringe 2025

August 11, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Inspired by a true story, this Fringe play follows a woman who must prove her worth in her family’s dairy empire by tracking down a “cheese pervert.”

Review: I’m Not Saying We Should, But What If We Did?, Fringe 2025

August 11, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This show is a compelling satire on populist politics, female rage, and male privilege. The premise of banning men is confronting and thought-provoking, and the play’s unique visuals will stay with you long after it ends.

Review: No More Bull, Fringe 2025

August 11, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A rousing and thought-provoking musical that re-examines the Minotaur myth through the eyes of Princess Ariadne.

Review: The Anti “Yogi”, Fringe 2025

August 9, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Anti-Yogi is a powerful and intelligent show that combines a mesmerising physical performance with a deep dive into the cultural exploitation of yoga.
