Sabre rattling won’t stop the Fringe

Now the Fringe is over, it’s time for everyone to take stock of what has happened in 2010, and how to change things in 2011. I’m doing the same with the podcast (mroe thoughts on that later) but for now I’ve taken a look at the big picture for my Fringe column at the Caledonian Mercury.

The beauty of the Fringe is that even though there is a central organisation keeping an eye on things (the Fringe Society) all the performers, venues and associated people that orbit around the event have their own stake in the Fringe as a whole. If people are not careful this can lead to insular thinking and put elements of the Fringe in danger.
