Review: A Play, A Pie, and A Pint: Zamboni – Assembly Roxy, Edinburgh

Lex Joyce’s Zamboni, directed by Anna Whealing, explores trauma, grief, and community after three ice-rink workers witness a devastating event. Strong performances, particularly from Loretta Francis and Samuel Lee Johnston, convey repression, PTSD, and resilience. Though its comedy-tragedy balance remains deliberately uncomfortable, effective design and a hopeful conclusion make the production compelling and meaningful.
