This year marks 60 years of the Edinburgh Festival Chorus. Comprising around 150 voices, the chorus performs with some of the best soloists, conductors and orchestras in the world as part of the Edinburgh International Festival. Even more remarkable, the members volunteer their time freely and are non-professional singers. Chorus director James Grossmith and singers Louise McGregor and Peter Cannell tell us more.

American playwright Gabriel Jason Dean talks about his play Rift, currently on at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It focuses on two brothers, one a liberal novelist, the other a convicted murderer and high-ranking member of a white supremacist prison gang. As boys, they shared a traumatic childhood, and now as adults, the men navigate their relationship through a series of prison visits over the years. Rift is inspired by the real-life relationship with Dean's own brother and asks if it's truly possible to love someone whose beliefs you hate.
