3 More To See film-based theatre

As Dusk will show, putting visceral film work onto the stage and making it work is no mean feat. Over at the Fringe, Yippee Ki Yay (Gilded Balloon At The Museum, 3–27 August, 5.45pm) returns after big success last year with this homage to Die Hard now starring Darrel Bailey (pictured). Larger-than-life icon Orson Welles is portrayed by David Shopland in Raising Kane (Assembly George Square Studios, 3–28 August, noon) for this recollection of how the greatest movie of all time (fact) came about. Proving there’s no such thing as a bad idea, 30 Minute Musicals (Assembly Checkpoint, 2–14 August, 7.50pm) bring us Top Gun. But will this troupe perform their own stunts?
