Really enjoyed A Streetcar Named Desire The Lyceum. Great performances from the entire cast, but particularly Kirsty Stewart as Blanche and Matthew Trevannion as Stanley. Director Elizabeth Newman makes great use of the revolving stage throughout the performance.

Another colourful Dunbar sky at 7am this morning, though I missed peak colour by about a minute.

Travelling through to Glasgow today to see this week's A Play, A Pie and A Pint presentation Òran Mór with a couple of my theatre friends. Looking forward to seeing Blast Off, Starburst, written and directed by @ThatCatMacLeod.

Enjoyed @ThatCatMacLeod's Blast Off, Starburst, this week's A Play, A Pie and A Pint presentation Òran Mór today. Beautifully-written, time-bending exploration of grief and bereavement with a little astrophysics. Particularly liked the energy of Rebecca Elise as the younger Shona.

I'll be Traverse Theatre this evening for @CarbonTheatre's Bright Places, an autobiographical play about growing up with Multiple Sclerosis. I have a good friend, now living in Australia, with MS, so this will help me understand her situation a little better.

Just caught quite a nice photo of Edinburgh Castle from the Castle Terrace car park with my phone's Night Mode.

Enjoyed Pilot Theatre's Run, Rebel Traverse Theatre last night with my friend, Lubna. This tale of an Asian family in the UK revolting against an authoritarian father featured some fine performances and made great use of an interesting and very effective stage design.

Just as a change from my regular dawn photos, here's a sunset image, taken this afternoon.

I'll be Assembly Roxy this afternoon to review Citadel Arts Group's McScrooge for AllEdinburghTheatre. Written by Alan Mountford and directed by Mark Kydd, the show is part of the Scottish Dementia Arts Festival, 2024, celebrating the creativity of people with dementia.

My review of Citadel Arts Group's McScrooge, performed as part of the Scottish Dementia Arts Festival 2024 is now available via the AllEdinburghTheatre web site. ".. an accessible, dementia-friendly pantomime, that can be enjoyed by all..". McScrooge : All Edinburgh Theatre.com

I'll be Scottish Storytelling Centre this evening to review Clare Prenton and Genesis Theatre Productions's Men Don't Talk, a dramatic exploration of masculinity, mental health and the Mens' Sheds movement in Scotland for AllEdinburghTheatre.

My review of @genesisTP2020’s Men Don’t Talk, written and directed by Clare Prenton Scottish Storytelling Centre is now available on the AllEdinburghTheatre web site. ".. provides an informative, witty, and often moving, glimpse into the work of the Men’s Shed movement." alledinburghtheatre.com/men-dont-talk-…

Did the BBC’s Steve Rosenberg just call the President-elect of the USA “Donald CHUMP”???. Listen for yourself from 18:03:30. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li…

Planning to start listening to Fergus Morgan's A History of Scottish Drama in Six Plays this evening with A Satire of the Three Estates. I'm sure I saw this at the Assembly Hall in Edinburgh in the 1990s, but I can't find any record of it. podfollow.com/scottishdrama/…

I always enjoy Christmas lights of #Dunbar at this time of the year. The individual components are put together with loving care and form a very random display, without any apparent masterplan to impose order onto creativity.

This panto packs a lot of very enjoyable content into one hour!

Do you still have Christmas presents to get? Are you thinking of buying tickets to shows in Edinburgh, Glasgow or London's West End? Do you like what All Edinburgh Theatre does over the year? Here's how you can support us: alledinburghtheatre.com/support-ae-for…

Great news for the companies and artists who have had to wait for money owed for 2024 Fringe - also that the winding up order against Summerhall Management over alleged unpaid corporation tax was withdrawn before Christmas.
