Stevenson’s characters, it’s a twisted romance of possession and retribution, of passion and betrayal. Directed by BAFTA, Olivier and Tony Award nominee, Bob Tomson. Written by Brian Spence.

Comedy
Paul Sinha: 2 Sinha Lifetime (Stand Comedy Club 8 York Place, Edinburgh, 4th to 24th August)
After a dramatic Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 which saw universal acclaim from the critics, and a far less impressive verdict from Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, the improbable news is that Paul Sinha is back.
Despite his continued quiz prowess, his Radio 4 career, and his decision to write a memoir rather than a hastily patched together murder mystery, Paul is not ready to exit the stage just yet.
