I was involved with four separate productions at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and they all got a decent amount of press coverage.
Aeneas Faversham, the Penny Dreadfuls‘ Victorian sketch comedy show at the Underbelly, was amazingly successful, with an awesome selection of reviews:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ – Edinburgh Evening News
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ – British Theatre Guide
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ – Broadway Baby
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ – ThreeWeeks
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ – Chortle
★ ★ ★ ★ – The Scotsman
★ ★ ★ ★ – The Skinny

And a lovely review in The Stage.

Radio, Kandinsky‘s production of Al Smith’s latest work, also had a fantastic reception:

Must See – The Stage
There are plans underway for more Radio in London sometime soon, so keep an eye on the Kandinsky blog for updates.
ShamWagon, the Dreadfuls‘ long-form improv show got some decent write-ups:
★ ★ ★ ★ – ThreeWeeks
★ ★ ★ ★ – The Skinny
A nice mention at ITV.com
★ – The List (although it’s hardly a review at all)
Despite being my most, erm, prestigious piece of theatre at this year’s Festival, Nutshell’s Stars at the Traverse wasn’t critically received at all well – I don’t think it met their expectations of Fringe wackyness, but there you go:
★ ★ ★ ★ – The List
★ ★ – The Scotsman
★ ★ – The Guardian
and a decent review in The Stage
This was my ninth Fringe, and the first in which I’ve devoted myself entirely to productions. Both critically and commercially it was a runaway success on several fronts, and Radio and Faversham in particular are guarenteed future appearances. More to come.
