A weekend of talks and performance exploring Edinburgh’s rich theatre history, presented as part of the Edinburgh 900 celebrations.
On Saturday 30 Nov we present a series of free talks with input on the Theatre Royal and Walter Scott’s dramas by Helen Graham, how the Edinburgh Festivals began by David Pollock, the Pleasance and Gateway Theatres by Donald Smith, and the restoration of the Kings Theatre.
On Sunday 1 Dec we are pleased to welcome biographer Priscilla Barlow to give a pre-curtain talk on her research into Scotland’s vibrant theatre scene in Macrae’s lifetime.
This event is also part of Fair Saturday, a global mobilisation that aims to create a positive social impact every last Saturday of November, the day following Black Friday, the greatest expression of consumerism. Artists and cultural organisations from all over the world get together in a global festival of arts for change.
