From Apostasy to Orson Welles, here’s our pick of the best films, concerts, exhibitions, theatre and dance over the next seven days.

Five of the best … exhibitions

Free the Pussy!

Summerhall, Edinburgh, Thursday 2 August to 23 September

Hayley Newman, Yoko Ono, Judy Chicago and Layla Sailor are among the international artists who have come out in support of the Russian protest group Pussy Riot, in what promises to be one of Edinburgh festival’s fieriest art shows. Recently, members of Pussy Riot were again jailed for defying Putin. A timely act of solidarity.

Orson Welles

Summerhall, Edinburgh, Thursday 2 August to 23 September

The great actor and director made a brilliant film about art forgery called F Is for Fake, and was a lifelong art lover and former student at the Art Institute of Chicago. Yet this is the first exhibition of his own art works. Welles is the kind of genius whose doodles on hotel stationery are worth seeing – and here they are.
