The Miser
Edinburgh People’s Theatre
Not exciting nor boring, not hilarious nor embarrassingly unfunny, acted well in some parts and badly in others, an unremarkable set but one which is validated by the play, not emotive but not stale, there is really not a lot which can be said about this production of 'The Miser' by Edinburgh’s Peoples Theatre except that it’s a new adaptation by J.J Mills, bringing the play into contemporary times by inserting a few gags about the credit crunch here and banks there, which seems appropriate as the play centres around a skinflint moneylender. After attempting to use the most eloquent vocabulary that I possess I still think that the best word to describe this production is ‘decent’.
