Theatre: Rupture, Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh

Star rating: *** This week, Ken Loach's new film, It's a Free World, premiered on terrestrial television. A trademark Loachian account of how migrant workers fare in Britain's black economy, it dealt with remarkably similar themes to Davey Anderson's new play, which opened the night after. This isn't so much coincidence as a reflection of the contemporary toxicity of multicultural Britain beyond its inclusive façade, making such material irresistible to any socially aware dramatist.
