Darwish Does Scotland

The Palestinian National Theatre will be putting on Mahmoud Darwish's Jidariyya at the Edinburgh International Festival. There will also be a dance-theater piece(!) based on The Picture of Dorian Gray, and a new adaptation of Poe's The Tell Tale Heart. The festival opens with a concert of Brecht and Weill's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny. I want to go! The Fest is happening August 8-31. Click here for more info.
