Bigfoot, 'slutfluencers' and a Bowie-powered gay fantasia
Roleplay producer Francesca Moody, who has a sure touch for spotting fringe hits such as Fleabag and Baby Reindeer, presents a new work by Australia’s Hannah Reilly about a feminist podcaster who becomes an online 'slutfluencer' to earn easy money — and discovers there is a price to pay.
The piece is at Summerhall, 6-31 August. Edinburgh also hosts ambitious stagings of established texts. Grid Iron gives Andrew O’Hagan’s coming-of-age Mayflies a site-specific treatment in a former metalworks, adapted and directed by Ben Harrison, while Internationaal Theater Amsterdam revives Tony Kushner’s epic Angels in America in Ivo van Hove’s stripped-back staging, complete with David Bowie songs.
Wagner Moura stars in A Trial, a sequel to An Enemy of the People relocated to modern-day Brazil.
