★★★☆☆     Thoughtful Review commissioned by, and originally published on All Edinburgh Theatre, 27 April 2025. Edited by Thom Dibdin. Augustine United Church: Fri 25/Sat 26 April 2025 Review by Rebecca Mahar Not So Nice! Theatre Company’s latest offering,  Living With the Dead  by Cosette Bolt at the Augustine United Church, confronts the reality of death in its many forms, reflecting on its sameness. Set in Storms Funeral Home and Crematorium, where six people with diverse stories have ended up,  Living With the Dead  offers each of them the time and the space to relive a moment from their unique lives. The Cast of Living With the Dead. Pic: Matthew Attwood Under Matthew Attwood’s direction the production certainly aligns with Not So Nice!’s mission to “create performances that challenge audiences, leaving them with more than just a polite ‘oh, that was nice’.” Visit All Edinburgh Theatre to read the full review !

 Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of) - ★★★★☆ - Delightful Review commissioned by, and originally published on All Edinburgh Theatre, 23 April 2025. Edited by Thom Dibdin. Isobel McArthur’s  Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of)  bursts out of the servants’ stairs and into the parlour with straight-talk and song, bringing irreverent Austenian charm to the Festival Theatre on the Edinburgh stop of its current UK & Ireland tour. An adaptation of the Regency classic, this P&P balances faithfulness to the original story with poking fun at it, and how it’s been perceived and previously adapted. Along with, of course, a fantastic selection of well-known tunes to help speed the story along. The cast of Isobel McArthur's Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of). Pic: Michael Bodlovic.
