Feeling a musical moment?
Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group presents ‘Into the Woods’ – music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and book by James Lapine. Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel are all transported to a sylvan setting, complete with compelling musical overture. Fairytales, surrealism and fantasy akimbo, I wouldn’t be surprised if Tim Walker shows up…*

ELSEWHERE
A night in Glasgow, perhaps?
Founded in 2007 by Pearson Sound, Ben UFO and Pangaea, Hessle Audio has grown into one of the most respected and revered electronic music labels out there. Ignoring stylistic boundaries and forging its own path between the deeper ends of techno, dubstep and garage, Hessle consistently redefines underground electronic music and continues to operate at the forefront and as a beacon of quality in an increasingly diluted and over saturated market of bedroom producers and fly by night record labels.
Friday 23rd November; 11pm-3am; 22 Jamaica Street, Glasgow; £12 advance tickets
