Edinburgh's Festivals

In August 1947, an émigré Austrian opera impresario launched the Edinburgh International Festival of Music and Drama to heal the scars of the Second World War through a celebration of the arts. At the same time, a socialist theatre group from Glasgow and other amateur companies protested their exclusion from the festival by performing anyway, inventing the concept of 'fringe' theatre. Now the annual celebration known collectively as the Edinburgh Festival is the largest arts festival in the world, incorporating events dedicated to theatre, film, art, literature, comedy, dance, jazz and even military pageantry. It has launched careers – from Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in Beyond the Fringe to Phoebe Waller-Bridge with Fleabag – mirrored the political and social mood of its times, shaped the city of Edinburgh around it and welcomed a huge all-star cast, including Orson Welles, Grace Kelly, Yehudi Menuhin and Mark E Smith's The Fall and many many more. This is its story.

"The doctor in 'Metastasis', having lost out to his demons, ends up on a ledge gazing down at a parking lot only to be rescued by the person in the play he hurt most. He's been humiliated but is given another chance whether he deserves it or not. In Drumheller; or, 'Dangerous times' the troubled coalminer sees salvation in the dinosaur bone he discovers in his coalmine and sends for a paleontologist to affirm its value. The paleontologist falls in love with his girlfriend, which triggers some old bad blood and, when two strangers appear with a bag full of money, all hell breaks loose... 'Seeing in the dark' is the harshest of the plays in this book, if only because the main character is perhaps the most likeable. He is given to the worst behaviour while getting the cruellest treatment, some deserved and some not, and in the end he's alone and must be his own salvation." -- p.14-15.
