Edinburgh Review: Nightlands at Summerhall

  • Jack Macgregor Reid

Presse/Médias: Other

Description

It is often the case that modern political theatre stumbles into known pitfalls, including alienating its audience and finding itself rooted in bias and cliche. Jack MacGregor and Dogstar Theatre effectively, and impressively elegantly, avoid these pitfalls in Nightlandsrunning at Summerhall from the 8th to the 14th of August at 8:45pm.

Jack MacGregor immerses the audience in the ex-Soviet town of Pyramiden during the beginning of the Putin autocracy, following two characters condemned to each other’s company and polarising political beliefs.

MacGregor’s script is interrogative and urgent, asking challenging and, at times, daunting questions. However, this does not come as a substitute for an engaging and entertaining story and complex, intriguing characters........
