An estimated 20 million seahorses die in fishing nets each year. IFAW supports the Seamaster Seahorse Rescue Centre, Italy’s first dedicated seahorse hospital. Make a matching gift to fund its expansion & save 2000+ seahorses. Every pound is doubled until midnight on 31 December!

This is a very positive step forward for the future of The Brunton theatre.

The question now is who might seen this as an opportunity... And then how the ELC winnows the sharks from the good guys!

"★★★★☆ beautiful adaptation" he says of this mini panto, designed to meet the particular needs of its audience.

[Andrea McKenzie @weeandrea]

Looking for Edinburgh based actors who can dance for my new play Butterflies and Benefits with @4playedin in December. Also looking for an emerging choreographer or movement coach who would enjoy working with 90s dance music. CS app in but likely to be profit share I’m afraid 🦋

[What's On Edinburgh @WhatOnEdinburgh]

Leith Customs is a new play by @ArtsCitadel based on the memories of retired officials who worked in Leith Custom House during the 1970s and recall it with affection. https://t.co/bXeEtnPmrL
