1 DANCE SCOTTISH BALLET: THE CRUCIBLE
3 COMEDY STILL GAME
Turning a classic text into a successful dance work is one of the trickiest choreographic missions. In Helen Pickett’s hands, Arthur Miller’s landmark story comes alive with propaganda, lust and mass panic all part of this very toxic and intoxicating brew. A menacing score and dramatic set also combine to make this an unforgettable highlight of the year, not just in dance but Scottish culture as a whole. See review, page 93. Theatre Royal, Glasgow, Wed 25–Sat 28 Sep; Festival Theatre, Edinburgh, Thu 17 & Fri 18 Oct. It’s nearly time up for Jack, Victor and the Craiglang gang, and this farewell stage show should bring an emotional curtain down on the most popular Scottish sitcom of them all. See feature, page 22. SSE Hydro, Glasgow, Fri 27 Sep–Sun 13 Oct.
