New World theme for festival
The New World will form the central theme of this year's Edinburgh International Festival.
Festival director Jonathan Mills said this summer's three-week spectacle would explore the "intriguing and complex" societies of Australasia and North, Central and South America.
The arts extravaganza, which runs from August 13 to September 5, will feature four world premieres and four European premieres.
