I confess to having not so much a blind spot as a completely glazed over spot when it comes to sport and anything sport related.

The Scottish Arts Club lounge was full to overflowing last night for the presentation ceremony and party for the inaugural Fringe Award for Scottish Drama.

The joint winners of the 2011 Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award were announced yesterday. The winners of the award that honours productions fighting for human rights were Sold (view photos), directed by Catherine Alexander at the Pleasance Courtyard, and The Wheel, directed by Vicky Featherstone at the Traverse.

From Ferrero Roche to sexual excrement, Richard Herring tries to answer the ultimate dilemma (according to him) of 1981: what is love? This is a much softer show than those who have seen Herring before will perhaps be used to, but it is no less polished.

I, Malvolio opened in a secondary school in Brighton in May 2010 and forms the fourth part of Tim Crouch's one man forays into making Shakespeare accessible to young people. It's hard to tell that this is watered-down Shakespeare then, given that the whole thing is riotously funny.

Ah, Kafka. Poster boy for the alienated, tortured artist.

Lesley Evans uses her experience of medical role-play (an actor employed to help doctor’s deal with terminal patients and practice their communication skills) to take an eager audience down the path of her life which, like most people's, is filled with idiosyncratic characters and amusing stories of embarrassing moments…mostly involving old farts who still get frisky.

One Thousand Paper Cranes wins our new award for Scottish theatre at the Fringe.

1927 first appeared in our Fringe brochures four years ago, with their incredible debut Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.

Theatre Uncut is the brainchild of Hannah Price, artistic director of Reclaim Productions Ltd, who, when the millionaire cabinet of the coalition government announced the draconian cuts they were going to be making in all sections of society, decided to raise awareness via a theatrical event.

Tempo deserve earthly rewards for producing musical heaven in this five star show. From the inception with some audience participation, the cast have us in the palm of their collective hands.
