• Nederlands Dans Theater began its three-night run on Thursday, to a rapturous reception from audience and critics alike. The Herald said ‘Judging by the ecstatic response from an audience of more that 2000… the opening piece.. alone would have been worth the price.’ Ends tonight at 7.30pm at The Edinburgh Playhouse. Tickets are still available.
