One of Edinburgh's most intriguing festivals, Hidden Door, returns to the city for 2017 between the 26th May and 4th June. This year's event is turning the derelict Old Leith Theatre into a buzzing hub of music, art, performance for a ten day jam-packed schedule. Although the theatre had remained derelict since originally closing its doors in 1992, the partially-renovated space presented a suitably atmospheric backdrop.
