Review for Getting Along with Gran

Royston Wardieburn Social History Group meeting with Citadel playwrights

Citadel Arts Group is delighted that its recent production, Getting Along with Gran, received a ★★★★ four-star review from All Edinburgh Theatre.

Based on memories shared by members of the Royston Wardieburn Social History Group, the production was scripted by five writers from Citadel's Playwrights' Workshop.

The cast brought together professional performers, community actors, and a class from nearby Granton Primary School, creating a genuinely intergenerational production celebrating local memories and stories.
