About Edinburgh International Book Festival Themes: Playing with Books
Embark on a theatrical journey through books: stories are brought to life through performance, music and discussion. Whether it’s a mission to Mars; a hallucinatory journey back to 1980s Airdrie; an evening of feminist thought; or an hour of divine classical music.
Playing with Books is funded through the PLACE programme, a partnership between the Scottish Government – through Creative Scotland – the City of Edinburgh Council and the Edinburgh Festivals.
