The Evening News review

Four Stars from the Evening News!

Makings of a modern classic
JO CAIRD

La Femme est Morte ****
Pleasance King Dome, Potterrow

THIS show starts with two young men boxing, segues into an energetic and tightly performed eight-person dance routine and then morphs into a mini press conference before the audience has time to realise it is an adaptation of the classic tragedy Phaedra.

In this production Phaedra is a celebrity mother of the Victoria Beckham school.

Brash, sexy and irreverent, this show is hugely entertaining.

New York-based theatre company Shalimar have created a new and exciting piece of work from an ancient tale

Until August 27.
