TWO WORLD PREMIERE SCREENINGS AT SUMMERHALL

Steven Berkoff's America
A unique Fringe event: the world premiere screening of Steven Berkoff's recent live recording reading a personal selection of his own poetry about growing up in New York and his many experiences of working in America. Funny, moving and not a little indiscreet - a must for all fans of this theatre and film icon.
14th August 15.40 (Odeon transmission)
Berkoff, Art & Peter Howson
The world premiere of a 20 min short film of Steven introducing his personal art collection, and discussing what art means to him and his work; followed by a live in-conversation event between Berkoff friend and collaborator Peter Howson, one of Scotland's most eminent painters and the official UK war artist in Iraq, and legendary Edinburgh impresario and artist Ricky Demarco. A unique Festival experience which promises to be an unforgettable event.

The Dispute
After Marivaux. Day 6570. The culmination of an experiment to re-create the Garden of Eden. Four teenagers locked away, never glimpsing another human face. Today they will be released. Director Emily Kempson reimagines Marivaux’s dizzyingly dark, erotic tale.

Rising star Marieke Audsley directs a dazzling, whip-smart slice of Victoriana, the story of struggling illusionist Edwin Sleight who finds fame and fortune after joining forces with the quick-witted and light-fingered Iphigenia Hand.
