Opening at the Tron Theatre this week is the Scottish première of When The Rain Stops Falling from company Makeshift Broadcast.
Written by Australian award-winning playwright Andrew Bovell, the play covers four generations of one family across two continents.
Katherine Nesbitt, artistic director of Makeshift Broadcast, directs a cast comprised of Robert Benison, Jane Black, Serena Day, Alan McKenzie, Clare Marcie, Camille Marmié and John Wilde.
Fringe First winning show Sanitise visits The Tron as part of a short tour.
A one-woman show without words, Sanitise uses physical theatre, dance, music and illustration to look at how society sanitises sex and sexuality.
The co–creators are Edinburgh-based artists, director Caitlin Skinner and performer Melanie Jordan.
By contrast, the comic and sharp-edged Fleabag follows with a story about a hyper-sexualised woman on quest to rediscover herself.
Also a one-woman show, this multi-award winning production comes from DryWrite and Soho Theatre.
Fleabag is written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge; Vicky Jones directs Maddie Rice.
From 19 February, Scottish company Stellar Quines returns to the venue to present The Fair Intellectual Club with Marilyn Imrie, who directs.
The Fair Intellectual Club is a new play by the award-winning comedian Lucy Porter set at the start of the Scottish Enlightenment.
Based on fact, it tells a story of a secret society of Edinburgh women who set out to educate themselves.
Samara MacLaren, Caroline Deyga, Jessica Hardwick form the cast.
