After the Showcase...

Artists, producers, international delegates, British Council managers, all left Edinburgh with the wish for further collaboration. In this blog, I have been able to only report on a very small part of the whole Showcase programme, due to a lack of time mostly. Other very good performances were shown, like Lemn Sissay's thought provoking Why I don't hate white people, Michael Pinchbeck's sincere Post Show Party Show, or Dennis Kelly's brilliant text Orphans directed by Roxana Silbert. I will still keep this blog updated when performances from the British Council Edinburgh Showcase will tour across Europe or beyond. If you wish to receive more information about the Edinburgh Showcase, you can visit the British Council's website in your country or our Arts pages. And if you have any questions about the British Council's work in the Benelux, or wish to send your feedback, don't hesitate to contact me or subscribe to the Netherlands eNews.
Thanks again for your interest in this blog and looking forward to updating you with more news in the future!
