Review: Fleeto, St Bride's Centre, Edinburgh

  • gang made up of local drama group participants
  • 4 professional actors
  • sparse props and deliberately low key lighting effects

all make the acting and ideas behind this production stand out starkly. Almost as sharp as the blade used to such effect in the play.

Hopes were high for an inspiring performance - as this production has had 'many starred' reviews from the Herald. Drinks were extremely reasonable in the pre-theatre cafe/bar area. The previous night's performance had been cancelled, so we felt grateful to be able to get tickets.

Glasgow knife crime is not the friendliest way to break up your mid-week. But Cunneen's writing leaves no heart untouched and you'll leave as awake as if you'd been dipped in the Clyde.

The taste of Glasgow will certainly be in your mouth after an earful of explicit Glasgowspeak from the characters. Explicit because of the delivery and the format of the writing - iambic pentameter. Perhaps the most useful insight into this play is to examine it via the role and perspective of the policeman's character - this highlights some of the key themes: isolation and frustration.
