Picks of the day

Terre Haute

Inspired by Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh, Edmund White's intelligent and compelling play - about a well known writer interviewing a terrorist - is exquisitely acted.

· Assembly Rooms (0131-226 2428) until Monday.

Hysteria

Inspector Sands and Stamping Ground Theatre throw light on the age of anxiety in this wonderfully witty show.

· Aurora Nova @ St Stephens (0131-558 3853) until Monday.

Jerry Sadowitz

One-week only at the Fringe for the dark genius of UK comedy, as the rancorous Scotsman with the top hat and the troubled soul launches his new show Equal Opportunities Offender.

· Assembly @ Assembly Hall (0131-226 2428), until Saturday.

Coma

Slick but unsettling show based on Alex Garland's book about a man who falls into a deep coma. This beautifully acted production captures the strange dream world to the point where you feel you can't escape the nightmare.
