Festival

August in Edinburgh sees the population of the grand, historic Scottish capital swell with actors, directors, street performers, comedians, media high flyers and audience. And so the lives of a dozen people intersect in a blackly comic account of the hopes, dreams and fears attendant at festival time. From the cut throat comedy world of the fringe to the impassioned, artistry of avant-garde theatre, with all points covered in between, this ensemble tale captures a peculiarly personal image of Edinburgh at unique time of the year.
