IT’S probably no concidence that the story of Ghost – a smash-hit film, and now a mighty blockbuster musical – dates from the same period as Tony Kushner’s great millennial fantasy, Angels In America.

Theatre review: The Sash
SECTARIANISM in Scotland: it’s a long story, not over yet. And if theatre is an artform made to allow communities to act out their deepest conflicts and tensions in a safe space, then there is no richer subject for Scottish drama than the nexus of half-remembered history, fading faith and fierce tribal identity that hangs around the old division between Catholics and Protestants.

NOT many people know this, least of all in Scotland itself; but nonetheless, there are probably now few countries on earth where the quest for the new, in the next generation of theatre, is pursued more intensely or in a wider range of ways than in Edinburgh, Glasgow and beyond.
