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.
The End of Eddy
★★★★☆ Inventive realism:
The End of Eddy at the Studio is both creatively playful and grippingly real, as a production of rare immediacy is built around a combination of technology and human interaction.
Creditors
★★★★☆ Compellingly troubling:
Strikingly staged and worryingly contemporary, Creditors at the Lyceum is unsettling and difficult to ignore.
EIF Theatre Announced
Seven plays for EIF 2018:
The Edinburgh International Festival has launched its 2018 programme with seven pieces of theatre, a musical theatre production of The Beggar’s Opera, two staged operas and four pieces of contemporary dance.

Details of 17/18 season announced:
The Lyceum is to stage ten shows in its 2017-18 season, the second in David Greig’s tenure as artistic director and the final year in the current funding round.
Lyceum season introduction
A time to take risks:
The Lyceum’s artistic director, David Greig, talks about the background to the 2017/18 season and his reasoning behind it.
Paul Bright’s Confessions Of A Justified Sinner
✭✭✭✭✩ Justified and modern:
The International Festival’s production of Paul Bright’s Confessions Of A Justified Sinner is a hugely enjoyable meditation on truth, reality, literature, loss and the transitory yet enduring nature of artistic creation.
Review – Paul Bright’s Confessions of a Justified Sinner
Brilliant in its conception and meticulous in its construction, Untitled Projects’ reconstruction of Paul Bright’s Confessions of a Justified Sinner could have been made to play Summerhall.
