Enough is ENOUGH | ENOUGH. | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Moonstone Theatre | The Mile at SpaceUK
There are moments in the theatre when the air seems to shift, when an audience sits a little straighter, pulses quicken, and the silence deepens into something potent. ENOUGH., performed by Moonstone Theatre Company at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, creates precisely this kind of moment—an unflinching, beautifully wrought confrontation that lingers long after the final blackout.

A Call for Accountability in the Metropolitan Police | An Interview with Moonstone Theatre about ENOUGH.
Bringing a play like ENOUGH. to the Edinburgh Fringe is no small feat. For Moonstone Theatre Company, the journey was as much an emotional challenge as it was a logistical one — from raising the funds, navigating the demands of the world’s largest arts festival and transporting an entire company to Edinburgh, to holding the weight of the story itself. This is a show that doesn’t just entertain; it confronts.

From the Arena to the Stage: Interviewing the team behind Gladiatrix: The Musical
When we think of gladiators, our minds jump to roaring crowds, brutal combat, and the heroes of the Colosseum. But hidden in the shadows of history are the stories of the women who once stepped into the arena—only to be erased when Emperor Septimius Severus banned them from competing in 200 AD. What does it mean when an empire dictates how women may use their bodies? And what echoes of that question still resonate today?

Musical Myth Takes to the Campaign Trail | Absurd Hero | ⭐⭐⭐ | April Alsup Productions | Willow Studio at Greenside @ Riddles Court
Camus imagined the “absurd hero” in the form of Sisyphus, condemned to push his boulder up a hill only to watch it roll back down for eternity. Absurd Hero: The Musical takes that myth and spins it on its head: in this 2025 reimagining, Sisyphus becomes “Sid,” a would-be mayor of Corinth navigating gods who have fallen on hard times and political conspiracies that feel uncannily familiar.

Shadows Songs and Stories | The Quiet Earth Beneath | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Casey Jay Andrews & Jack Brett | Dissection Room @ Summerhall
There are shows at the Fringe that entertain, and then there are shows that burrow under your skin and stay there long after the lights fade. The Quiet Earth Beneath belongs firmly in the latter camp. Performed in the atmospheric Dissection Room of the Old Dick Veterinary School, this piece feels less like theatre and more like a ritual that makes an offering of words, sound, and silence.

Making, Designing & Surviving Theatre | An Interview with Casey Jay Andrews | Summerhall Arts | Edinburgh Fringe Festival
Casey Jay Andrews is one of those rare artists who seems to live at the intersection of storytelling, design, and sheer creative resilience. Her latest work, The Quiet Earth Beneath—a poignant collaboration with musician Jack Brett—has found a new shape since its first iteration at the Adelaide Fringe, and now descends into Edinburgh with an simple, lyrical power. It’s haunting, earthy, and somehow manages to still feel like a campfire story with glitter in its flames.
