The Final Edinburgh Fringe Preview of 2009
…because it all kicks off next week! Press launches, preview shows, a million people with five billion flyers descending on Edinburgh, and in the middle of it all, one lone podcaster making a difference and capturing the heat of the moment and sending it out to the world.

Though you might not guess from the mainstream media, the Fringe is not just about the big names coming up from London and doing a little bit of theatre to ‘experiment’’, and nor is it about landing a guest spot on a topical panel quiz show on BBC 3 or Dave. No it’s about the love of performing, taking risks and brining something new to the game.
One team that did this, back in 2007 were Claire Harvey and Edward Wren and their first play, The Ordinaries. As the Fringe gets ready to start, it’s worth remembering the smaller shows on the Fringe, and that they generally are where the hidden gems are.
