Scottish premiere This collection of short plays audaciously explores the power of the arts in today's global conflicts, political resistance and displays of artistic freedom. A collection of political plays arrives at the International Festival with a fresh wave of urgency. Following a sell-out debut at London’s Arcola Theatre, Cutting the Tightrope dives into the ever-tightening grip of censorship on artistic freedom. This is an audacious exploration of the role of the arts in today’s global oppression and resistance. Written by a dynamic roster of playwrights, the pieces cut to the heart of contemporary struggles - from war zones to the silencing of dissent. Praised as powerful, important, moving’ by Ben Jamal, Director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the show unflinchingly challenges the silencing of expression. Expect an evening of daring, thought-provoking theatre that refuses to shy away from the truth. These voices demand to be heard. There will be a post-show talk after every performance. Post-show talks are an informal opportunity for you to connect further with artists. It will begin 10 minutes after the performance ends and is expected to last no more than 30 minutes. You are welcome to stay for as little or as long as suits you.

Although Shakespeare’s title suggests something for all, cultural provocateur Cliff Cardinal has reimagined As You Like It as a play strictly for the open-minded. Unapologetic and unafraid to confront the thorny truths of our time, this bold adaptation balances black humour with raw emotion. Celebrated Canadian Indigenous playwright Cardinal brings his fearless storytelling to the International Festival for the very first time. His work explores themes of family, culture and systemic injustice with unflinching honesty and a dark, irreverent wit. This is Shakespeare in a way the Bard could never have imagined.
