Pilrig Park: The American Dream (26 Jun)

Local arts-specialist school Pilrig Park presents its latest show, which almost every child has contributed to in some way, from dancing to costumes.

Theatre and Issue 592

Sleeping Beauty (King's Theatre, Glasgow)

13 Dec 2007

The pitch It’s time for Princess Beauty to put away childish things, say goodbye to her childhood friend Chester the Jester (aaawwww!) and get ready for some right royal action. Carrion the witch and Norval her son (or is he?) have other ideas, however…

Eeting Beauty

13 Dec 2007

The pitch In the self-referential world of the Pantosphere, baby Bess is the daughter and niece of a celebrated Ugly Sisters double act, while her mother has been asleep for 100 years. Set to suffer the same fate on her own 18th birthday, she is cursed…

The Wizard of Oz

13 Dec 2007

The Pitch If we aren’t in Kansas, Toto, Edinburgh makes for a pretty convincing substitute. Dorothy (Denise Hoey) moves from twister to twisted into the surreal world of Oz, where that absolute shoeligan the Wicked Witch of the West (Julie Austin) is…

Cinderella (Pavilion Theatre)

13 Dec 2007

The pitch Poor Cinders: Her life sucks — for one thing, her old boy has married the worst thing since C Difficile. Can she break away from her domestic bondage? Only with help from her friend Buttons and some heathen magic from her fairy godmother. Will…

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

13 Dec 2007

Jock and the Beanstalk

13 Dec 2007

The Pitch Somewhere in rural Scotland in days of yore, Jock (Iain Johnstone) has some issues. Perhaps the greatest of these is his flatulence, which takes no prisoners, regardless of his circumstances. But moreover he wouldn’t work in a barrel of yeast…

Goldilocks and the Three Bears (King's Theatre, Edinburgh)

13 Dec 2007

The Pitch Gertie’s (Allan Strewart) circus is in a soapy bubble, unable to draw audiences or pay its rent. Never mind, though, for daughter Goldilocks (Claire Dargo) adopts three bears who prove to be a hit. But Goldilocks has troubles of the heart with…

Cinderella (Brunton Theatre)

13 Dec 2007

The Pitch With an utterly Hondless dad, two suspiciously virile sisters and buttons the besotted servant to contend with, Cinders has her hands full. The sisters, who already have access to more balls than you’d think, are determined to keep her away…

Peter Pan

13 Dec 2007

The Pitch It’s not only posh kids from Bloomsbury who get to go flying with the boy who never grows old, now it’s regular kids from Glasgow who hear the tap on their fifth floor window and set off for an awfully big adventure. While the parents go to an…
