Kirsty Wark presents the best theatre, art, dance and performance at the 2014 Edinburgh Festivals. Game of Thrones creator George RR Martin talks about his phenomenally successful series of Song of Ice and Fire books, and we see the raft of Game of Thrones spin-off shows. Marking the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, the festival features a host of artistic responses to conflict - from the Trojan War right up to recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Kirsty asks a number of writers, artists and performers why war is such an enduring inspiration. And the summer exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland tells the story of the remarkable rise of the Ming dynasty, a period of almost three centuries of social, economic and artistic transformation in China.
