Janice Forsyth lifts the curtain on Radio 4's new theatre series at the Edinburgh Festival.

Opening Night gives listeners a backstage pass to some of the most innovative, challenging and provocative productions around. The series will broadcast from a new town or city each month, looking at the best in theatre, play-writing and live performance talent and will ask how the theatre is helping to capture and curate modern Britain.

Janice Forsyth launches the new series in the heart of the biggest arts festival in the world - Edinburgh. We'll be plunged into the most exciting offerings from both the International Festival and the Fringe, with highlights including behind-the-scenes recordings of 'Meet Me at Dawn' the visceral new work from Zinnie Harris and 'Adam' from director Cora Bissett, about a young trans man who ventures from Egypt to Scotland in search of acceptance and happiness.

We'll also be hearing from International Festival director Fergus Linehan and Jackie Wylie; the artistic director of the National Theatre of Scotland, as well capturing some of the more surprising new voices at the Fringe.

Producer: Victoria McArthur.
