What’s on > Theatre

Next week sees two HOME-made Edinburgh hit shows take to our stages. In Theatre 1, Scottee’s final solo show Class uncovers what it is to be embarrassed about where you’re from; whilst in Theatre 2, Javaad Alipoor invites you and your Instagram account to hear a story of outrageous wealth and privilege in Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran.

Also coming up this month is the stage adaptation of the Matt Haig best-seller Reasons To Stay Alive.

Looking ahead, the festive season will be here before you know it and Roots, The Slightly Annoying Elephant and A Night at the Musicals means that there’s something for everyone at HOME this Christmas.
