There are great theatre shows on offer all year round at the King's Theatre and Festival Theatre, Edinburgh.

The Rebel Cell (4 stars)

Comments (0)Share this

Rap is the language of rebellion in Babasword Productions’ dystopian futuristic England. The central dichotomy – change from within the system versus rebellion against the system – is essentially a very simple one, which is dissected down to molecular level halfway through this 70-minute rap battle. Occasional descents into un-theatrical ‘lecture rap’ are easily excused by Babasword’s extraordinary freestyle poetry.

Pleasance Dome, 556 6550, until 24 Aug, 5.40pm, £5–£8 (£6–£7).
