The Fairy Queen
Theatre Alba
Hidden away beside Arthur's Seat is a gem of a kids' show waiting to be discovered. It's a brave thing to stage an outdoor promenade production in Edinburgh, particularly one for children, but Theatre Alba are just that fearless. In this unashamedly Scottish production, Tammy Troll and Princess Peacha take you through the grounds of the Manse, as they attempt to rescue the Fairy Queen from the Wicked Witch and the Ugsum Kelpie.

The children don't have a second to be restless, as the action moves quickly from one beautiful location to the next, with interactive songs to guide the way. It's slightly off the beaten track, but this show is well worth the trip, for the drama, danger and 'Draigons' along the way.
