The End is Near: 18 – 22 August at 2:00pm.
A new play by Melissa Ainsworth, directed by Meggie Greivell.
We are especially pleased to be partnering Persistent Theatre Productions for the afternoon Fringe performance of The End is Near, a new play by Melissa Ainsworth, directed by Meggie Greivell, from 18 – 22 August at 2:00pm. Three women, from three different centuries, find each other at their worst hour. Janet is accused of witchcraft in 1661 Edinburgh, Caroline is an arrested suffragette in 1911 London, and Lauren is fighting for her reproductive freedom in 2028, in America. The three women explore what has been and what is to come. One thing is certain, the end is near…or is it? This new drama dives into how women have been persecuted throughout history. Women’s rights have come so far and yet have so far to go.

CHRISTIAN ALL-AGE CONCERT
The Building Bridges festival is about more than just music, dance, food and fun — it’s about connection. It's about building friendships between people from all walks of life, backgrounds, and cultures.
We believe that when we share stories, meals, and traditions, we break down walls and build something better — communities that feels like home for all of us.
So whether you've lived in Leith/ Edinburgh forever or just arrived, you belong here and have something vital to contribute in this amazing city.
So on Saturday afternoon 6th September, we will eat together, laugh together, and celebrate what makes us different — and what brings us together.
We can’t wait to see you, your friends and families at the event. Admission is free.
