Edinburgh Festivals: The Show Must Go On

This year, the biggest arts festival in the world is on hold. But this programme captures the spirit of Edinburgh and brings highlights of new shows and events from the Fringe, the Book Festival and the International Festival, which are happening within the limits of the Covid lockdown. Presented by Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Lolly Adefope, it tells stories of how creatives have worked under lockdown and managed to create shows to entertain us. The programme draws on archive to tell the extraordinary story of how a city became host to the largest, most accessible, creative arts festival in the world.
