Here are the best shows on offer as the biggest arts showcase in the world returns to full strength 👇
DECIDING what to see at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Edinburgh International Festival and their various sibling festivals can be a daunting task. That is particularly true this year, as the biggest arts showcase in the world returns to full, pre-pandemic strength.
Also in the EIF programme, and also addressing the urgent crises of 21st-century humanity, is Jungle Book Reimagined by the extraordinary dance-theatre maker Akram Khan. The piece resets Rudyard Kipling’s famous story to a near future in which the child hero Mowgli is a climate refugee. If Druid’s show promises to shock, Isto E Um Negro? , by Brazilian theatre company EQuemEGosta?, comes with the advisory notice that it “contains distressing themes and nudity” and is intended for audience members aged 18 and over. Coming from the Brazil of the fascistic president Jair Bolsonaro, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that the production offers a powerful confrontation with racism.
Also part of the Lyceum’s festival programme, and playing as part of the Edinburgh International Book Festival, is This Is Memorial Device . Adapted and directed by excellent theatre artist Graham Eatough from the acclaimed novel by David Keenan, and starring the brilliant Scottish actor Paul Higgins, the play takes us – as Keenan’s book does – to Airdrie in the 1980s and the journey of the fictional post-punk band Memorial Device.
Beautifully crafted by writer Michael John O’Neill, the piece had a short run to small, socially distanced audiences at last year’s Fringe. Following the travails of Kate, a young woman whose precarious pregnancy and turbulent past mirrors that of Northern Ireland itself, it is blessed with a heart-breakingly brilliant performance from Amy Molloy.
In 2020, Romaniw was awarded both the Young Artist of the Year prize at the Gramophone Classical Music Awards and Singer of the Year at the Royal Philharmonic Society Awards.
