Best Edinburgh day yet

Yesterday we saw a South African adaptation of Strindberg, called Mies Julie. It was a devastating look at issues raised by Strindberg but with the added ingredient of apartheid. It was a mind-blowing and devastating work. The actors were all magnificent and the production on the whole was in the pantheon of best theatrical moments that I have encountered.

Then we went to see Don Giovanni as part of the Edinburgh International Festival (Beckett was too). It was nothing short of magnificent. Then the train home and collapse into bed.

It has been a truly exceptional experience so far in Scotland and two days left!!!
