Edinburgh Nights

Kirsty Wark presents interviews and performances from the world's biggest festival of arts and culture. Kirsty speaks to Angus Deayton and Richard Wilson about their long associations with Edinburgh and about resurrecting much-loved characters and sketches from the past. Kirsty also interviews Tony Award winners actress Cherry Jones and director John Tiffany about the European premiere of their acclaimed Broadway production of Tennessee Williams's classic play The Glass Menagerie. Plus Ian Rankin joins Kirsty on a tour of the intriguingly titled exhibition The Scottish Endarkenment, and we explore two special commissions which commemorate the centenary of World War I, including Turner Prize-nominated artist Ciara Phillips's homage to a Dazzle Ship.
