New Out Of The Blue Headquarters Gets Edinburgh International Festival Call Up

New OOTB headquarters at The Drill Hall in Leith is this year confirmed as a major new Edinburgh International Festival venue. The Drill Hall is set to stage one of the hottest tickets at this year’s Festival. The shows mark the English-language debut of star Catalan director Jordi Milan’s hit production NutsCoconuts.

Opening night is Monday August 15 with performances nightly, except the following Mondays, until Saturday September 3. Curtains go up at 7:30pm except Saturdays when the show begins at 8:00pm. There are also 2pm matinees every Saturday during the run.

The show is set to be a real spectacular. Opulent sets, outrageously camp costumes and bawdily comic song and dance routines all poke affectionate fun at the variety theatrical tradition.

OOTB purchased the listed, former Army drill hall last year. Plans are underway to transform the landmark Victorian building in Leith ’s Dalmeny Street into a modern, multi-media creative hub. The Festival show further underlines OOTB’s central role in the area’s ongoing cultural regeneration.
