Rupaul’s Drag Race Season 12 Was A Cultural Reset
Possibly the best season since season 6 (spoilers ahead) On Saturday I sat down to watch the finale of this season’s Rupaul’s Drag Race (RPDR for those in the know). Jaida Essence Hall was a deserving winner, although I would honestly have been happy if any of the top three won Rupaul’s one hundred thousand […]
Review: DONT WALK 2020
World ending? Party like it! This past Saturday, revelers by the busload were transported to a fantastic event that has for years been the highlight of the Spring social season.

Review: FS Playhaus
To say this year’s annual Fashion Show was a success would be an understatement. From start to finish the marquee on Lower College lawn was buzzing with an air of excitement.

Review: Gabriele Uboldi’s Oedipus Rex
On the 12th February I was lucky enough to see Gabriele Uboldi’s Oedipus Rex at the Byre Theatre. Following his heavy involvement in many popular St Andrews productions, such as Bacchae, Ubu Roi and Death in the Quad, expectations for Uboldi’s adaption were high.

Preview: Gabriele Uboldi’s Oedipus Rex
On the 5th February I attended the launch party for Gabriele Uboldi’s Oedipus Rex. Gabriele (Bacchae 2017, Ubu Roi 2018, Bacchae Edinburgh Fringe 2018, Death in the Quad 2018) who both wrote and directed this adaption of Sophocles masterpiece was truly the man of the hour, and looked absolutely resplendent in a rather dashing suit, […]
Review: Sofar Sounds 2.2.20
Alongside the lengths of ruined cathedral wall and beside the susurration of the sea, I trod a seemingly perilous path amidst a most sable night. As the faintest drops of rain began to fall, I was beckoned by the light of the inauspicious location for the forthcoming Sofar Sounds performance – unknown to me until […]

Review: On The Pebbles
This autumn’s On The Rocks preview event, On The Pebbles, dotted the town this past Saturday with pop-up events led by various art communities across town. The events, which offered both hands on and hands off creativity, brought the town well into the winter’s coming festive season with lights, food, drinks, and plenty of live music. […]
