ED2013: Theatre Review: Canary Gold (Théâtre Sans Frontières UK & Teatro Tamaska Canary Islands) 27 Aug 2013 | 04:29 am

ED2013 Comedy Review: Lenny Peters – Lost In Nonsense (Lenny Peters) 27 Aug 2013 | 04:27 am

ED2013 Theatre Review: Breaker (Underbelly and Sodid Svid Theatre Company) 27 Aug 2013 | 04:06 am
With a terrific script concerning life and mystery, ‘Breaker’ is a play that concerns itself with some heavy themes. It tells the story of a young man, coming back to his grandmother’s home on an isol...
ED2013 Comedy Review: Soup (Tomato / PBH’s Free Fringe) 27 Aug 2013 | 04:04 am
