Read MoreInternational Festival Review: Trojan Women
Megan Amato reviews Trojan Women at the Edinburgh International Festival. As someone who usually keeps the media consumed to happy – or at least bittersweet – endings, a retelling of Euripides’ epic tragedy may seem like an odd choice.

Read MoreIl Wol Dang on traditional Korean music at the Fringe
Megan Amato talks to band Il Wol Dang about traditional Korean music, jazz and the message they hope to spread. ‘Do you know BTS?’ asked Lee Ju-hang, her question followed by the immediate laughter of her three band members, manager and myself.

Read MoreFringe review: Mr and Mrs Love
Jeremy Welch reviews Mr and Mrs Love at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It was a serendipitous moment when I fell across this cabaret show and I’m delighted to have seen it. The show is a musical rom com combining music as wide ranging as Greig’s piano Concerto in A minor through West Ends show hits…

Rosie Morton reviews IMA at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. IMA (the Hungarian word for ‘pray’) is a spine-tingling circus experience from Budapest’s multi-award-winning Recirquel Cirque Danse company.
