Show Information

The Provocateurs: Bridget Jones meets the existentialists / Forensic jewellery

What can Bridget Jones's Diary teach us about existentialism? Dr David Sorfa (The University of Edinburgh) explores how popular films can provide philosophical insights and discusses freedom, anxiety, the impossibility of finding love and the importance of blue soup.

Follow the curious trail from jewellery to justice as you embark on a true-crime adventure with the world’s first ‘Forensic Jeweller’, Dr Maria Maclennan (The University of Edinburgh). All that glitters is not as it seems...

14+ must be accompanied by an adult.

ALL SEATING IS UNRESERVED AND LATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ADMITTED
