Zinnie Harris at the Edinburgh International Festival

Zinnie Harris has three productions at the Edinburgh International Festival this summer: This Restless House, her adaptation of Aeschylus' Oresteia; a new version of Eugène Ionesco's Rhinoceros; and the world premiere of Meet Me At Dawn, a new play inspired by the myth of Orpheus and his rescue of his wife Eurydice from the underworld. This Restless House was selected as Best New Play at the Critics Awards for Theatre in Scotland in 2016 and nominated for Best New Play at the UK Theatre Awards. The Edinburgh International Festival website features Zinnie talking about each of the plays.

Zinnie has recently been voted Best Director for her production of A Number by playwright Caryl Churchill at the Critics Awards for Theatre in Scotland 2017.
