The Citizens Theatre's retelling of 1984 is powerful â but has one problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
GEORGE Orwell wrote his magnum opus 1984 as the world began to emerge from the horrors of the Second World War and the Nazi Holocaust. Indeed, when his dystopian novel of an all-powerful authoritarian state â which gave our culture such popularly understood concepts as Big Brother and Room 101 â was published in 1949, fascist regimes in Spain and Portugal and Stalinist states across eastern and central Europe ensured that most of the continent continued to live in what Victor Serge called â
Alan Cumming hits the right notes in latest offering at Pitlochry Festival Theatre (opens the original)
Read excerpt
ALAN Cumming has rung the changes since he stunned the Scottish theatre community – and many other people besides – by taking up the post of artistic director of Pitlochry Festival Theatre (PFT).

The shameful trade in prescription opioids – such as OxyContin, which was peddled by the recently dissolved US firm Purdue Pharma – is the subject of the astonishing new opera The Galloping Cure (Festival Theatre, run ended). Receiving its world premiere at this year’s Edinburgh International Festival, the piece is co-produced by Scottish Opera and
Three must-see shows at the Edinburgh International Festival (opens the original)
Read excerpt
IT is an important function of the prestigious Edinburgh International Festival (EIF) that it brings to Scotland’s capital the kind of work that Scottish audiences would otherwise be unlikely to see. Festival director Nicola Benedetti’s 2026 programme certainly ticks that box in offering the exceptional Brazilian theatre production A Trial – After An Enemy Of The People (Royal Lyceum, until tomorrow). Extrapolated from the prophetic 1882 play by Henrik Ibsen, the piece places the Norwegian bard’
