Nick Pynn – Opaque, Inlingua, Edinburgh

Star rating: **** Nick Pynn's a crafty cove. The initial response to his Fringe 07 show has to be "breathtaking" - and that's only the stairs up to Inlingua Edinburgh's Hanover Street premises. Once inside the office converted into one of the Fringe's most intimate theatres, however, the results were genuinely impressive. Playing an array of acoustic instruments - fiddle, guitar, cittern, banjo, dulcimer and a small wine glass "choir" - Pynn conjured up a world of impressionistic pieces.
