Our second Outstanding Theatre Award has been presented to Karen Hall for her show at Delusions and Grandeur at Summerhall at the Edinburgh Fringe 2025.

FringeReview editor Paul Levy presented Karen Hall with her legendary FringeReview teapot for a show that achieved a MUST SEE rating from reviewer Pat Silver, confirmed by other members of the reviewing team. You can read the full review here.
According to Pat:
“This show is a must see for anyone who has ever heard a live classical music concert, listened to a Baroque recording, played an instrument, or simply pursued their life’s passion as a profession. As for the rest of you, come to have your eyes opened – and be thoroughly entertained by this phenomenally talented and charming musician. She says that studies show that people forget up to 80% of what they hear within 24 hours. You will not forget Karen Hall – her brilliant playing and her passionate and engaging story.”
FringeReview presents up to three awards during any single Edinburgh Fringe festival. All shows across all genres are eligible.

The show was produced by Karen Hall and Rhymes with Purple.
