If you weren't able to get to the Edinburgh Fringe or International Festivals this year, don't worry! We've collected some highlights for you to enjoy: from Scottish Play silliness with our 'Macbethathon' to a special selection of Internationally renowned theatre productions from France, Russia and Germany.

This year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe has gone crazy for Shakespeare in his 400th anniversary year.

To mark this special occasion we sent our own intrepid Lady Macbeth, Lindsey Chapman, on a murderous #Macbethathon challenge.

But just how many Macbeths could she shake a dagger at over one day of toil and trouble? Find out on on and on the .

We have also been covering three exciting, international Shakespeare productions which ran at Edinburgh’s International Festival this year…

• Shake: Reimagining Shakespeare’s Illyria as a seaside holiday resort from the 1970s, complete with ramshackle beach huts, Shake is a delirious pop-theatre rethink of Twelfth Night from British-born director Dan Jemmett and his French-based theatre company Eat a Crocodile.

• Measure for Measure: satirical, shocking and radically stripped back, Measure for Measure from Britain’s Cheek by Jowl and Moscow’s Pushkin Theatre is a gripping, compelling production of one of Shakespeare’s most controversial plays.

• Richard III: Deeply influential theatre maker Thomas Ostermeier returns to the Edinburgh International Festival with a raw, gritty reimagining of Shakespeare’s unflinching study of evil, in a compelling and critically acclaimed production from Berlin’s Schaubühne Theatre.
