Girls Like That
Brilliant Lyceum Youth Theatre cast depict the grottiness of online shaming
Hotel Juarez
Useful exercise in Spanish language, but unconvincing as an investigation of border town life.

A sublime, subversive and sub-zero performance of Tom Stoppard’s anti-classic play.
The Commitments
The jukebox musical that belts out soul but struggles to find one of its own

Holmes and Watson: The Farewell Tour
Dialogue-heavy, but the bickering couple in this homage have a lot of appeal

Poignant and funny insight by Rona Munro, set in Aberdeen and part of the city’s inaugural Granite Noir festival
