KIDS The Intergalactic Nemesis
As well as creating and performing The Riot of Spring as part of the Behaviour festival at the Arches, Rob Drummond (Bullet Catch, Wrestling) has also written this exploration of truth and lies for the Traverse, set in the deceptively sinister world of television game shows. Our reviewer called it ‘dangerous, questioning and beautifully-delivered theatre’ – read the full five star review on page 104. Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, until Sat 20 Apr. Appearing in Scotland as part of the Imaginate festival, this stage performance mashes together sci-fi graphic novel visuals with 1930s radio play theatrics. See Imaginate preview, page 22. Church Hill Theatre, Edinburgh, Tue 7–Sat 11 May.
