#edfest #edintfest "Caledonia", Kings Theatre: fantastic piece of theatre - incisive, humorous, tragic, vastly entertaining and informative.
Unimpressed with #Caledonia #edfest Played for laughs it lacks bite. Flat singing, poor characterisation, and it wasn't funny.
seemed very odd to see Jamie (Paul Higgins) from The Thick Of It singing and in tights #caledonia #edinburgh #cultureshow
Gospel at Colonus in the #edfest sensational. Caledonia from #nts not bad either. Grupo Corpo superb. Quite a weekend.
About to watch the brilliant Daniel Gray recite stories from Homage to caledonia. #edfest #venue122 (@ St Cuthbert's Church)
NTS 'Caledonia' - explores desires and motives - for Scotland, as individuals. Will greed always pervert vision? Dark and complex #edfest
