So hands up – or perhaps that should be devil-horn fingers up – if you ever expected to see heavy metal performed at the Edinburgh International Festival.

And it's not just a one-off, or just one band, either. There are going to be two. The marvellously named Miserable Faith and Suffocated, both Chinese, are to be part of the Beijing People's Art Theatre version of The Tragedy Of Coriolanus by Shakespeare. Jonathan Mills's penultimate programme really is full of eyebrow-raising bookings such as this. I cannot imagine Mills himself headbanging down in the mosh pit as Suffocated unleash their drop-D tuned riffage. And the festival audience at the Playhouse may have never seen the like before.
