Under Another Sky was part of Playing With Books at Edinburgh International Festival – making a play out of Charlotte Higgins brilliant book, with a sold out performance at The Spiegeltent, Edinburgh, followed by a discussion with the actors, musicians, director, writer and author.
Under Another Sky: When Guardian chief culture writer Charlotte Higgins set out to explore the Roman occupation of Britain, not only did she embark on a work of serious history: she began a personal odyssey with her partner (and fellow classicist) in his ageing VW camper van. The result – a captivating and haunting exploration of the remnants of an empire, shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize – is not only hugely entertaining, but offers clues about the origins of Britain’s current political landscape. In partnership with Edinburgh’s Royal Lyceum Theatre and playwright David Greig we present a theatrical response to Higgins’s triumphant work of non-fiction.
