Dry Ice, Underbelly. Poetic monologue on life in a strip club. Each rapid-fire rhyme hits its target; don't miss this. 4/5
Heavy Like the Weight of a Flame, Underbelly. A noble idea doesn't redeem this over-long, over-complicated and over-acted solo show. 1/5
In The Dust, Zoo Southside. Fierce choreography and impressive physical feats, but there's an absence of heart in this dance triptych. 3/5
Matt Tiller, Just The Tonic. Like watching a caught fish flap impotently on the deck, before, at last, its eyes glaze over, and it dies. 1/5
Toby, Pleasance Courtyard. Superbly characterised comedy duo, with wonderful onstage tension. Comedy interspersed with subtle theatrics. 4/5
Waiting For Alice, Pleasance Courtyard. Witty script, superb acting, beautiful set - a brilliantly original take on Alice in Wonderland. 4/5
Within Range, Zoo Southside. A bold dance concept, and yet overly cerebral choreography and heavy-handed symbolism fail to enthrall. 2/5
