REVIEWED: B Minor Mass
By Marina Carnwath Bach’s B Minor Mass is a notoriously difficult work to perform. The intricate parts involved for all choral ranges are so complicated that they seem better suited to string performers, rather than voice. Tom Wilkinson’s St Salvatore’s Chapel Choir and the professional, Grammy award winning, Fitzwilliam Quartet were joined on Sunday night […]
REVIEWED: SAND Scratch Night
By Sam Oshins SAND Scratch Night “Millenials” was without a doubt fun, which is exactly what is branded itself to be. Al Gillespie, one third of the SAND (St Andrews New Drama) team introduced the show tonight with exactly those words: “SAND is fun, easy, relaxed, and new.” The show tonight showcased four short plays […]
REVIEWED: Dr Faustus
8th April, The Union The audience were greeted with a surprise when we entered Club 601 on Friday –there were no seats, the play was going to be in Promenade. Obviously word had travelled of the success of the previous performance, as the foyer was full of waiting people. As we crowded into the club […]
REVIEWED : Hedwig and the Angry Inch
by Lottie Garton The Byre was full of anticipation at 7:30 on Wednesday, as we all prepared to be wowed by the brilliant duo of Tommy Rowe and Kate Kitchens, as Hedwig and Yitzhak. The entrance was brilliant, with Hedwig sporting a pair of legs most girls only dream of. The show went off with […]
REVIEWED: Music is Love, Overground
By Cassie Naimie What do the kids these days say again? Oh yeah, “It was lit”. The Edinburgh-based night club in 601 on April 2nd was exactly what I thought it would be: a group of blissfully happy St. Andrew’s students getting their rave on. With an entry fee of £2, it was well worth […]
REVIEWED : The Smirths
Ham and Cheese Panini? A Review on The Smirths By Kenalyn Ang 4 Apr. 16 Audience members file into a lit theatre, finding their seats, perusing leaflets of upcoming OTR events. Soft chatter fills the house, but soon attendees catch sight of a solitary Blind Mirth member, standing on the stage, seemingly running over his […]
REVIEWED : Hot Mess
By Annabel Romanos Hot Mess was a genuinely charming piece of theatre. When I first heard that a show was being put on in The Lizard, my heart dropped (in the best way possible) because that place is my JAM. And despite the show having to move into 601 (for health and safety […]
On The Rocks : An Acrostic Poem
By Sammy Evans Overground for the underground St Andrews, Saturday Night in 601, to Strictly Come Dancing, because not just old ladies love to watch The tango, maybe a Cellidh, or a Jam, or see a Doctor or go Home? Get Educated by Rita, visit the Animal Farm, or maybe let Fate decide? Read some […]

REVIEWED: DRA/FP Ball
by Marina Carnwath This year’s DRA/FP Ball was the first to charge its residents for the privilege of attending. Traditionally the ticket price is included in the accommodation costs, meaning that charging extra left the committee in a position of having to prove the value of their event. Fortunately the weight of opinion came […]
REVIEWED: Don’t Guac
By Sam Oshins Let’s be clear, Don’t Guac invited guests to gorge themselves on as much guacamole as they could for as long as they could stand. At first I thought this was too good to be true. Was this really going to be an event that encouraged maximum consumption of guacamole? Yes. Yes, it […]
