"We have a small seven-strong professional ensemble that rarely misses a trick, in a version of Aladdin that starts off on the right foot.
In no time at all, Aladdin's wicked uncle Abanazer has whisked him away to the cave of delights.
They're helped on their way by two Genial Spirits, in Robert Read's chubby genie of the lamp, and Isabella Jarrett's beautiful and glamorous genie of the ring.
No opportunity for fun is missed, from opening number to closing walk-down and the whole Brunton team deserve the warmest Christmas applause, for one of the least pretentious and most enjoyable pantos of the year."

"Creepiest of all is the soliloquy delivered by Isabella Jarrett, as the mother of the girl who is being tortured by the management. In all of the Fringe, Jarrett’s was the performance that stuck with me — her character was strangely sweet and exceptionally heartless."

as
BARRY
By
Frederic Mohr
Directed by John Carnegie
Designed by Gregory Smith
In the early nineteenth century, a young girl on holiday in the Borders
vows to become a doctor.
This is the story how she became MAJOR GENERAL JAMES MIRANDA BARRY
Inspector General of Hospitals of the British Army
To fashionable Cape Town society, Barry was "the perfect gentleman."
To Florence Nightingale, Barry was "the most hardened creature
I ever met throughout the Army"
To the charwoman who laid out the General's body for burial, Barry was
"the devil a General! Its a woman - and a woman who has had a child!"
"A fine piece of theatre" Times Educational Supplement
"One of the most astonishing stories in the history of sexual politics,"
The Guardian
Frederic Mohr's fascinating play premiered in the USA to enormous acclaim
in 1983 and was then produced by the Traverse Theatre. This 25th Anniversary
revival brings director John Carnegie and actress Isabella Jarrett together
again after their success in Hermiston, and renews an author/director
partnership whose previous collaborations include the Fringe First Award
winning Bozzy and The Admiral Jones.

Isabella also appeared with Communicado Theatre Company in
Adapted and directed by Gerry Mulgrew
from the novel by Robin Jenkins.
Following the critical acclaim of Communicado's adaptation of Jenkins's The Cone Gatherers, Fergus Lamont promises once again to bring to life the work of one of Scotland's finest writers. In a story rife with scathing Scots humour, Jenkins introduces us to Fergus, a man at odds with his own identity. Despite a childhood in the slums, he learns of his nobel connections and is determined to join the aristocracy, claiming his rightful place in Scottish society. This journey of self discovery takes Fergus to the trenches in World War I, an Edinburgh country home and a weather beaten outpost in the Outer Hebrides before returning to his birthplace. In this adaptation of Robin Jenkins's most searching exploration of the modern psyche, Communicado creates not just an unforgetable character but an image of Scotland and what it is to be Scots.
