Edinburgh Festival

How To Be Brave, written by Siân Owen and performed with boundless energy by Laura Dalgleish, is the greatest bedtime story a scared little girl could hear.

Pauline stayed at home to care for Dad. Rachel went out into the world to advocate for him and others with his condition. When Rachel makes a surprise visit home, no return ticket booked, resentments and sacrifice bubble to the surface and the two sisters battle through their differences.  Though they may both feel duty to their Daughterhood, this play is all about sisters.

Mary Anning is just 12 years old when she finds an ichthyosaur skeleton on a Lyme Regis beach. It's the first find of its kind in the 1800s. Helen Eastman tells this forgotten story:

Daniel Ward's The Canary And The Crow narrates his experience of being a black boy in a white, middle class high school. But it's so much more than those teenage years.

Helen Bauer is being marketed as 'a self-confessed attention seeker', and she really wants you to watch. An inward look at all things Helen.

An intense, unnerving and magnetic performance by Richard Gadd, as Baby Reindeer takes the audience through a journey of Gadd's long-term stalker.

You may not always agree with Loyiso Gola, he's a pretty strongly opinionated kind of guy, but his arguments are always so logical and annoyingly backed by sound rationale that you've got to hear him out.

Ryan Calais Cameron's new play, Typical, is a monologue depicting an unthinkable, but depressingly fathomable, true story.

Lucy McCormick is back, inflicting her twisted brilliance on Edinburgh, following her last hit Triple Threat in 2016. A show with expertly deployed obscenity, with a smattering of absolute indecency.

Gorgeously indiscreet, this New York Comic is as sharp as they come. Bubbly, with a sprinkling of aggression. Cohen hails from New York, where she has a weekly slot at Alan Cumming's cabaret bar a?" her act includes songs a?" and Henry Koperski accompanies her on keys.

Produced by double Fringe-First winning Francesca Moody (of Angry Alan and Square Go), self-obsessed 30-year-old Girl Guide Sephie tries to achieve her entertainment badge after several failed attempts.

The best costumes at the Fringe, glorious rewrites of songs you wish you'd been clever enough to think of, and a glittery, scantily clad man lying across your lap. What a Wednesday!

It's comedy, but not as you know it. Orlando Baxter structures his set around his struggle to reconnect with his father in his hometown in Massachusetts, and the discovery that he may have a half-sister.

Hughes' highball energy will make this hour of comedy pass in the blink of an eye.

A powder keg of stupefaction and anxiety. Three people - Rose Wardlaw, Azan Ahmed and Shannon Hayes - explore their conspiracy theories around the famous 1932 photo of 11 builders precariously eating their lunch atop the Rockefeller Centre.

Darlingheart's Cora Bissett is an ex-indie rocker whose star rose, but fell, 25 years ago. Firmly in the sky again, she revives What Girls Are Made Of  for another spell at the Fringe

BWW catches up with actor Tom Lenk and writer Byron Lane about bringing their hit show Tilda Swinton Answers An Ad On Craigslist back to Edinburgh and Tom's new solo show Tom Lenk Is Trash.

BWW catches up with Vikki Stone to chat about her 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show and ways in which the festival should be made more sustainable.

In Werewolf: Live, Jon Gracey leads a team of comedians through several rounds of mystery and intrigue with hilarious results.

Shonagh Murray and Lydia Davidson formed Fearless Players after graduating from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2018. They premiered Armour: A Herstory of the Scottish Bard at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

In Shakespeare! The Panto, the Bard of Avon and his sidekick Bottom have noticed the popularity of pantomime, and despite the playwright's creative objections, see it as a way to overcome his writer's block.  With some of the best known characters in theatre popping up as they attempt to get their show on the road, hilarity ensues, or so the intention runs.

In Jekyll vs Hyde, a free musical comedy now playing at the Voodoo Rooms, Laurence is a serious composer, working on a one-man musical adaptation of Stevenson's classic work.  It's high art he believes, much elevated by the noble tradition of sock puppetry enabling him to play all of the parts.  His wife and disgruntled stage hand, Lindsay thinks it's all a bit boring, especially compared to the cheesy, bells-and-whistles, Broadway-bound adaptation they had crafted together once upon a time.

The Nottingham New Theatre are examining the victims of war through the eyes of Georg Büchner's 19th-century protagonist, Franz Woyzeck. By focusing more on the brutal effects of the conflict on Franz's civilian life, Daniel McVey's adaptation aims to pay tribute to the faceless names who have been caught up in fighting over the past century..

The Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer winner is back with a comedy show about memory and swings specifically for bums.
