Charlie Sonata, Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh

by David Kettle

Well-meaning but uneven comedy bursts at its seams with mismatched themesTime travel, Brit pop, Sleeping Beauty. Classical ballet, the ravages of alcoholism, serial poisoning. There's plenty going on in Douglas Maxwell's idiosyncratic Charlie Sonata at Edinburgh's Lyceum Theatre " so much, in fact, that it's hard to know what it all adds up to.
