★★☆☆☆ Patchy
The Optimiserables and New Celts’ You Have Failed Me For The Last Time is only patchily entertaining. At theSpace on the Mile on even dates throughout the Fringe, it is neither a full-blown parody nor a fully coherent piece of drama.
★★★★☆ Admirable restraint
Nancy’s Philosopher, at the Royal Scots Club through the first two weeks of the Fringe, is the first offering from Arkle Theatre Company in their final Festival – and it is delicate, tasteful and accomplished.
★★★☆☆ Energetic
Sex, Drugs and…? – from Culture Riot! and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile on even dates throughout the Fringe – is a journey through the well-worn paths of rock dreams and heartbreaks.
