Stanley Baxter, Brian Cox and Ruth Madoc will be among the living legends sharing their memories of the Grand of Lady of Leven Street with panto baddie Grant Stott on Radio Scotland on Christmas Day. Cora Bissett’s award-winning musical Glasgow Gi*ls, based on the true story of seven te*nagers from Drumchapel who stood up to stop their asylum-seeking school friend being deported, is to play the Edinburgh King’s in January 2019. The Tony-award winning production of The King And I has been announced for a major UK tour, with booking already open for the Edinburgh Playhouse where it arrives for 15 performances in October 2019. The heartbeat of humanity which lies at the core of Frank Capra’s It’s A Wonderful Life is brought to the stage in a straightforward but never simple adaptation by Floating Brick Theatre, at the Cornerstone Centre to Saturday. Forget any controversy linked to The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven. It should be judged purely as a theatrical experience. On those terms, it is moving, profound and quite brilliantly executed.

On those terms, it is moving, profound and quite brilliantly executed. There is a great deal in Little Red Riding Hood at the Church Hill Theatre that is involving, warm and funny. There is real delight for pre-school kids to be had at the Studio of the Festival Theatre this Christmas, as the clever and playful Poggle ky Boots brings musical comedy with sole to the Playhouse for five glamorous weeks over Christmas and into the New Year.
