At the Coliseum, Lyndsey Turner’s unpretentious production of Gluck’s Iphigénie en Tauride succeeds on most levels. 

Though it has strong dance scenes and great comedic flair, Lost Dog’s deconstruction of Hamlet doesn’t quite take flight. 

Centuries after her beheading by her English cousin, Mary Stuart remains a potent symbol of Scottish exceptionalism and historical grievance. Weak production design weighs down Sophie Laplane's imaginative choreography for Scottish Ballet.  

Sophie Laplane's Mary, Queen of Scots has a lot going for it, visually stunning with a pleasing score, but simplistic and overly rapid storytelling brings it to an underwhelming conclusion.

Resident choreographer Sophie Laplane, star dancer with the company for 13 years before spreading her choreographic wings, takes on Scotland’s most tragic and divisive historical figure

Exceptional, witty performances combined with superb choreography and script make Ben Duke's take on the Medea myth unmissable.
