Box Office 0131 228 2688 Festival Theatre Propeller presents The Comedy of Errors Tuesday 22, Thursday 24 & Saturday 26 February 7.30pm   Richard III Wednesday 23- Saturday 26 February Wednesday 23 & Friday 25 February 7.30pm/ Thursday 24 & Saturday 26 February 2.00pm   Richard III brings the War of the Roses cycle of history plays to a close in bloody fashion. Arguably Shakespeare's most villainous King, we watch in horror and delight as Richard murders his way to the throne, unable to resist his cruel wit and dark humour.  This is a hugely entertaining and diabolical adventure that tells the story of one man's journey to heaven, then back to hell. In complete contrast, The Comedy of Errors is Shakespeare's most farcical comedy, and also his smartest.  Two sets of estranged twins, separated at birth, find themselves in the same city 25 years later with hilarious consequences. A series of mistaken identities, assumed personas, and wild mishaps bring a family crisis - so complicated that time itself loses the plot - into heart warming focus. Fortunately the audience is always one step ahead...   Groups: 8+ people £5 off Stalls and Grand Circle seats plus 1 free ticket per every 15.

Working outside - or even deliberately corrupting - accepted conventions and frameworks, the artists participating in this two-part exhibition find alternative means to engage with social realities in situations of war, sex and political urgency. www.stills.org Stills, 23 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1BP Uinneag Dhan Àird an Iar: Ath-lorg Ealain na Gàidhlealtach Royal Scottish Academy (Diploma Collection) © The artist's estate City Art Centre Window the the West: The Rediscovery of Highland Art Until Sunday 6 March 2011 Drawing on both historical and contemporary art, this major exhibition asks questions about art and the Highlands with particular reference to the Gaelic language.How does art relate to Gaelic language and culture?
