Known for her performances as Mac in Chicken Run 1 and 2, Lynn takes the audience through a range of stories – from the dangers of too many cats to how it can often be tricky to tell Los Angeles and Grangemouth apart. Yet the show ends on a throwaway note – something about reading the small print (you had to be there, I guess).
is 'the highly anticipated show from the most beloved up-and-coming indie, pop and rock acts from Edinburgh'. And 'two-time Grammy nominee' Beth Nielsen Chapman has released 14 solo albums, with 'songs recorded by the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson and Elton John'–catch her at The Queen's Hall.Gangsta Granny went straight to number 1 in the children’s book charts and globally his books have been translated into no fewer than 25 languages. Heidi Goldsmith is perfectly likable as Sam, particularly when she sings Tom Gray’s catchy new songs, but her performance feels a little forced. There is no denying how skilled this theatre company are at puppetry… When the enormous blue elephant first appears on stage, the collective gasp of the audience’s children proves that it works a treat… They are transfixed every minute that the elephant is on stage… An entertaining treat for a young audience. When you turn a book such as The Slightly Annoying Elephant, that can be read in under 10 minutes, into a 40 minute show it becomes a huge challenge. As the elephant makes himself at home and takes a shower, watches TV and has a nap, bits of his body disappear.
With my own child in attendance that enjoys Walliams' books, we wanted and tried to find the best in the piece, but the story feels as though it’s dated and needs a new interpretation, as the messaging throughout for children is unrelenting, negative and overall left us deflated. The Octavoce ensemble present 'a whirlwind a cappella trip through our favourite Disney tunes' in 100 Years of Disney at Leith Arches.
At Musselburgh Racecourse, Quantum Theatre present an outdoor adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's classic, Wind in the Willows, while Richard Holloway and friends present Murder in the Cathedral, 'Eliot's famous play on the life and murder of Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral,' in Old Saint Paul's Church. At Hill Street Theatre and online, Auto-Engrain: A One-Woman Show'relays experiences from speed-dating to how a toxic relationship can be engrained'. The 1990-set Better Days at Just the Tonic follows 19-year-old Danny, who 'stands at the crossroads of football violence and house music'. The illustrations by Tony Ross are also colorful and appealing, adding to the overall visual appeal of the book.
And, for a modern twist on classic fairytales there's Lost in the Woods or enjoy a kid-friendly take on the Bard at Smashing Shakespeare.
He went to art school in Liverpool and has since worked as a typographer for design and advertising agencies.
London-based cellist Anne-Isabel Meyer plays the Bach Cello Suites and Bach's Prelude and Gigue at St Cuthbert's Church; St Giles' Cathedral hosts performances by the National Youth Choir of Scotland and NYCOS National Girls Choir; and John Bryden delivers 'two piano recitals on the Cathedral Steinway' as part of Cathedral Coffee Concerts at St Mary's Cathedral. Children will be especially delighted by the unpleasant elephant (who is surely much more than just 'slightly' annoying) and joining in with his regular refrain of 'Silly Boy! Sam goes to the zoo and adopts an elephant, completely unaware that the elephant is going to turn up on his doorstep and expect to be looked after. Veteran street artist' Dave Southern brings his Pavementology tour back this August, telling 'the story of street performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe'.At The Three Sisters, AYEbiza Live: The UV Neon Party Sessions is 'an exciting new visual club experience taking you back to the 00s and 90s with singers, dancers, saxophonists, percussion, glow paint and good vibes'.
