A darkly funny thriller, a satirical cabaret, and a girl-power musical about Lady Macbeth will travel to the Edinburgh International Festival.

Eight Australian shows will be travelling to Edinburgh in August, including the prestigious Edinburgh International Festival and the world’s oldest and largest Fringe festival, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, thanks to philanthropic organisation, House of Oz.

The award-winning House of Oz, whose founding patron is Georgie Black, is dedicated to promoting Australian creative arts on international stages. By offering funding for production, marketing, and PR resources as well as covering travel and accommodation costs, the support of House of Oz reduces financial barriers for artists and in doing so, enables Australian performers to showcase their talents globally, thus fostering cultural exchange and elevating Australia’s artistic presence worldwide.
