RADIO
One of the most painless ways to sort out the good from the not so good at the Festival will be Radio Scotland‘s daily Festival View Mon 10—Fri 28 8.40am (not Sats or Suns). repeated at 1.40pm forlate risers. It will include International Festival reviews. Fringe round-ups and interviews. chiefly looking at shows which have opened the night before. The first programme on Mon 10 has a suitably Russian theme with reviews of Gorky Theatre of Leningrad‘s History ofa Horse and Sivcrko. the high-leaping. beautifully-costumed folk dancers from Archangel on the icy north coast. International Festival shows on Tue 11 include Juno and the Paycock by the Gate Theatre. Dublin and Raun Raun Theatre Company.
Kaleidoscope are — enviably — ‘doing' the whole festival in two hours, devotingtwo full and four half-programmes to their
coverage. It starts on Mon 10. 9.45pm with
a preview presented by Guardian theatre critic Joyce McMillan and continues that week with an interview with Mark Ermler conductor of the Orchestra ofthe Bolshoi Theatre on Wed 15. 9.45pm. Mary Queen of Scots who is making a prolonged come-back this year is the theme on Fri 14. with reviews of Schiller's Mary Stuart directed by International Festival director Frank Dunlop and the It cam' m” a Lass exhibition of the Stuarts at the National Library. Also that evening Raun Raun Theatre and the Melos Quartet from Stuttgart (plus Fringe shows to be decided). Other Kaleidoscope programmes hope to include the following: Fri 21 . 9.45pm the Berliner Ensemble. The Cameri Theatre from Tel Aviv. the Russian Tbilisi State Puppet Theatre. the West German opera company Alte Oper plus contemporary Scottish art at the Vigorous Imagination and contemporary Russian art in Moscow — A Private View at the 369 Gallery. Their final slot will be Wed 26. 9.45pm with (probably) a review of the Chinese dance drama. The Soul of the Terracotta Army. the (‘hinese Kunju MacBeth. the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Stomu Yamash‘ta. the Japanese percussionist. Each Kaleidoscope programme will be repeated the following day at 4.30pm (and the following Monday in the case of a Friday broadcast). Tuesday Review R Scotland. 11. I8 and 25 Aug. 6.30pm will also be lookingat Festival themes and people. To freeload on the Festival get along to the Cafe (‘ontinental in the BBC Queen Street Studios where the Art Sutter show will be broadcasting live every day with a choice of ten Fringe shows. R Scotland. Mon 1(L-Fri 14 Aug. 3pm—5pm. Tickets free. Radio Forth will be broadcasting Festival City Radio from 10 Aug. Mon—Fri. 6—7pm. Gone. for now at least. are the days when Forth split the wavelength in one of the most exciting pieces of broadcasting attempted by a local radio station. producing a special radio station for the Festival. Still you can console yourselfwith Alex Shuttleworth‘s celebrated impersonation ofa Fringe
reviewer — a certain Dudley Fudge. The Ticket Trelt will give up to date ticket information throughout the day at 9.30am. 11.30am. 2.30pm and 4.25pm. and from 10— 1 5 Aug Jay Crawford's 10am—1pm show will come from the Spicgeltent in the Book Festival with reports on the Film and Book Festivals.
