The hi-tech wave pool that could turn Edinburgh into Scotland’s Surf City

25 May 2017 10:23 Living by the Sword

Most sports evolve at a reassuringly sedate pace – a rule tweak here, a tactical innovation there – but not the sport of surfing, which, thanks to some mind-boggling technological advances in recent years is increasingly starting to feel like something out of a science fiction movie.

Book review: That’s Your Lot, by Limmy

25 May 2017 09:42 Living by the Sword

Music review: Running Up That Hill: A Celebration of Kate Bush

22 May 2017 09:48 Living by the Sword

Film: Stephen Applebaum reports from the Cannes Film Festival

22 May 2017 09:43 Living by the Sword

The Cannes Film Festival would have wanted to start its 70th edition on a high note, and this year’s opening night film, Ismael’s Ghost (**), looked like it had all the right ingredients. A homegrown film from the Cesar-winning director Arnaud Desplechin...

18 May 2017 09:56 Living by the Sword

Scottish surfers prepare to take on world’s best in Biarritz

17 May 2017 11:43 Living by the Sword

Theatre review: Daphne Oram’s World of Sound Off Kilter

12 May 2017 23:05 Living by the Sword

IN A SPOTLIT space at the front of the stage, holding a slightly incongruous modern microphone, stands a geeky, bespectacled young woman with an old-fashioned BBC accent, wearing a sensible 1940s-style skirt and cardigan.

Opera review: Scottish Opera - La bohème

12 May 2017 14:28 Living by the Sword

It’s a breathless affair, Renaud Doucet and André Barbe’s helter-skelter La bohème for Scottish Opera. The effervescent director/designer duo set Puccini’s heart-tugging opera in the back street flea markets of 1920s Paris...

Art review: Rachel Maclean - Spite Your Face

09 May 2017 13:06 Living by the Sword

In Rachel Maclean’s new morality tale, “the only way out is up”. And the only way up is… not very pleasant. If there seemed a possibility that the 29 year-old artist, who trained at Edinburgh College of Art...

Theatre review: Travels With My Aunt

08 May 2017 14:12 Living by the Sword

It’s 28 years since - in an effort to save money, one hard-pressed season - the then Citizens’ artistic director Giles Havergal quickly conjured up an adaptation of Graham Greene’s great 1969 novel Travels With My Aunt...

Music review: The SCO, with Clemens Schuldt & Maximiliano Martín

06 May 2017 04:00 Living by the Sword

It had all started so well. Brilliantly, in fact, as young German conductor Clemens Schuldt directed the SCO in a truly exceptional Stravinsky Pulcinella – crisp, driven, richly textured, and giving so many of the orchestra’s musicians the chance to shine as soloists.
