Michael Petychakis. Kevin Warwick. David Burden. Just back from this year's long weekend at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Not a classic, but some good shows in there - 16 in 3 days (and a couple of bits), not including the cafe. We got a a lot more different venues, some we hadn't been to before and hardly spent any time at the Pleasance (when previously we've spent almost whole days there). We also found it harder to work out what the "must-sees" were - perhaps because we normally go at the end of the festival when all the reviews and awards are out. None of our Festival faves (NIE, SpyMonkey etc) were there either to structure our schedule around.
Also we saw hardly any posters for the shows we did see, adding to the feeling of being just a bit more in the dark. Here's the shows in order: Friday Death By Murder* - We took a chance at using the half-price hut for our first night, just off the train seeing it was nearby. Saturday Pussyfooting**** - Nice drama piece by a young theatre group we know via contacts in Birmingham. Monday.
