Treats lie in store for EIF-goers this year from Shakespeare's Coriolanus backed by Chinese heavy metal bands to a production of Hamlet that interacts with Richard Burton's 1964 Broadway version; from mashed up dance in Don Quichotte du Trocadéro to Philip Glass Ensemble accompanying a digitally remastered version of Cocteau’s 1946 film La Belle et la Bête.
Here EIF artistic director Jonathan Mills introduces some of the highlights of the 2013 festival programme. Slightly irritatingly, the captions appear to be embedded in the video clip itself so you can't turn them off.
