Book Festival 2025 round-up: One
Performances and performers in the first week at the Futures Institute
The Book Festival seems thoroughly at home in its second year at the Futures Institute. The simple act of moving the entrance a few yards towards Middle Meadow Walk, together with vastly improved outside catering, has created much more of a buzz around the site.
Book Festival 2024 round-up 1
Paul Bright re-excavated, Perambulations of a Justified Sinner, Lone Tree
The Edinburgh International Book Festival has moved home again for 2024, to its new (permanent) home at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, part of the Quartermile development at the old Infirmary.
Anthropocene
★★★☆☆ Icy:
Anthropocene, from Scottish Opera at the King’s, is a work that is constantly shifting its ground both dramatically and musically; while it is absorbing it never entirely solidifies.
The Devil Inside
★★★☆☆ Devilish detail:
All the makings of a Faustian tale of darkness, damnation, intrigue and desperation are present in Scottish Opera’s The Devil Inside, at the King’s for two nights on its premiere tour.
