Fringe Days Four and Five – a thriller, an opera and a fond farewell

Two more days of frenetic show-going see Rebecca queuing for a psychological thiller alongside Oxford theatre group Not Quite Write – and then talking to the play’s creator Kashyap Raja about psychology and myth. All too soon it’s Friday, and time for the final performance, Last Dream (on Earth), before it’s time to go home.

Have a listen – and don’t miss today’s absolutely bonus feature – a dual language interview with the director of A Terrified Soul: the story of Macbeth as performed, sung and danced by opera and theatre companies from Anhui Province, China.

New science galleries at the National Museum of Scotland, where I spent Thursday morning.

The Huiju and Jingju Theater Company and the Huiju Opera Institute relax before their performance…

…which is amazingly colourful and vivid…

…and made the most of music, singing and acrobatics.

The final show, on Friday, was Last Dream (on Earth), a silent performance in which all sound was delivered via headphones…

…by the cast of live performers and musicians.

After a final walk to collect my luggage, serenaded by this talented duo…

…it was time to say goodbye to Edinburgh for this year (do not fear, the fire is a barbecue in the wind).
