The gravestones of two friends pull a journalist into an investigation he hopes will bury the past. Instead, it unearths the harsh reality of staying silent, confronting him with the one story he refused to tell. Following his five-star run in 2025, Scottish playwright George Grant returns with this powerful meditation on identity and grief. Making it’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut, In the Cold Light is a sharp, funny and quietly devastating exploration of how we mourn – and what we leave unsaid.
