Edinburgh Festival: Bonjour Tristesse
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Glasgow's innovative young Theatre Cryptic did well at Mayfest with this brave filleting of Francoise Sagan's dreamy tale of late- teenage seaside passion. The director, Cathie Boyd, follows the novelist's line that 'sin is the only note of vivid colour that persists in the modern world', orchestrating the pairings of her four-strong cast to a tidal score by Jane Gardner. There is no dialogue as such, but enough spoken text in French and English to point up the narrative. Sensual and sumptuously visual, Boyd's adaptation boldly captures the heart of Sagan's novel.
Theatre Workshop (venue 20), 34 Hamilton Place (031-226-5425). 1.30pm to 3 Sept (not Suns)
