In Fidelity will make its way from Edinburgh to the Hightide Festival

The countdown has started for the tenth annual HighTide Festival.

Other theatre events include a work-in-progress presentation of Role Play by Thea Smiley and rehearsed reading of Caroline Wiseman's The Leonardo Question.

The programme also includes cabaret, live music, a film screening, discussions and talks, and seven Face to Face events:

  • Alexi Kaye Campbell, Elizabeth McGovern and Ben Miles in conversation
  • Eleanor Bron in conversation with Terri Paddock
  • Celia Imrie in conversation with Terri Paddock
  • Charles Spencer in conversation with Michael Billington
  • Christopher Hampton in conversation with Kate Mosse
  • Steven Atkinson and Francesca Clark in conversation with Kate Mosse
  • War and Peace: Tom Harper

For comedy there is Bourgeois and Maurice, Pajama Men, Nish Kumar and Spencer Jones all presented by Soho Theatre.

The HighTide Festival runs from 8 to 18 September in Aldeburgh, Suffolk.
