Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran - thanks to this show I now have an Instagram account.  I was advised that would be the best way to fully enjoy the experience.  Since 99% of the material appeared on on-stage screens, fiddling with a phone was more a distraction than an addition.  Anyway what of the show?  More of an illustrated lecture than a piece of theatre the two presenters traced backwards in time (as Instagram presents a users photographic history) the story of a pair of rich Iranees who end up, or since we are going backwards, start off dead in a smashed up Porche.  The whole thing seemed to be a musing on the iniquities of the rich and powerful and the awesomeness of time.  A million years for a plastic cup to disappear.  It was all very earnest and I expect too worthy for me to appreciate.

Ane City - the title is a Scottified nod to Dundee's slogan "One City Many Discoveries".   A single performer backed now and then by a guitar player talks about Dundee and her return to the city after an absence at university.  The night out with her chums to celebrate her return is not the happy time she had imagined it would be.  The actress does very well in inhabiting her various friends and relatives both male and female and with a few simple props gives us glimpses of some Holyrood stars.  She uses both voice and body vigorously and convincingly as the story of the night out progresses.  How does it end?  I won't spoil it for you.

Crocodile Fever - hooray! This is not a lecture, not a monologue but an actual play.  There is a set, a box set even, excellent stagecraft and five characters (only four actors).  It's a black comedy about the return of a girl to her home after an absence of some years eight of which were spent in prison for burning her mother to death.  But it was actaually her sister who did the burning.  Her sister does not welcome her return. Their father, dismissed as a monster by the returnee, is upstairs.  From there we descend into a spiral of what you might describe as horror movie sequences with a pretty smashing finale.  Worth seeing.
