Outriders: Ximena Escalante & Stef Smith (2017 Event)

As part of our project to explore the Americas, leading Mexican
playwright Ximena Escalante travelled across Mexico with Scottish
theatre writer Stef Smith. Starting in the US city of San Diego,
they journeyed south across the Mexican border, making their way
to Mexico City, Oaxaca and Merida before arriving at the
country’s southern border with Guatemala. In this event recorded
live at the 2017 Edinburgh International Book Festival they share
some of their unforgettable experiences, and some of the writing
inspired by the journey.
