Edinburgh Festival Days 6 & 7: Me Myself Us
Seven days to deadline and novelist Phil Fielding is suffering major writer's block. His imagination has got up and gone. In fact, his imagination has become a separate person, and one who refuses to be coerced into writing 150,000 words in a week ('It works out as 68 postcards a day. Just think of it as a busy holiday,' pleads Phil). John McKay's jaunty piece about deadline-itis is full of good one-liners, wittily performed by McKay himself as the downbeat writer and Forbes Masson as the wilful creative streak he cannot control.
Assembly Rooms, 54 George Street (venue 3), 031 226-2428. 8pm. To 5 Sept (not 24, 31 Aug).
