REVIEW: 5 Guys Chillin, C Too - Edinburgh Festival ✭✭✭

On the plus side, the cast are very good, and the damaging side of their partying is played very well. I liked the confrontational nature of the script, and it does not glamorise the scene. It's bleakness makes me worry for young gay men.

REVIEW: Milk, Traverse - Edinburgh Festival ✭✭✭✭✭

Orla O'Loughlin's sensitive direction and Paul Meller's uncluttered design guides us through the need for love. Yes, some strands are left loose, but a terrific ensemble, (so good no one should be singled out), and a deeply moving conclusion underlines the milk of human kindness. Theatrical nourishment.
