Summerhall, Edinburgh
Gabe Winsor’s inventively staged tale is charming and sweetly lo-fi, but the emotion never quite clicks
Deep sea diving and plumbing the depths of family history make a decent parallel in this nimble multimedia production by Buzzcut, which has a sweetly eccentric air yet leaves a little too much beneath the surface.
The premise is familiar, as Eddie (Morgan Beale) returns to the seaside town where his sister, Ira (Camilla Anvar), still lives in her childhood bedroom and runs the family pub now that their parents are gone. Guilt, resentment and jealousy bubble up as they squabble over which of them was their parents’ favourite and what to do with the business, while Ira shares her doubts about Eddie’s new husband.
At Summerhall, Edinburgh, until 31 August
