One of the exciting things about the Fringe is that you never know quite what is going to turn up. We're up to 13 entries for this year (July 8-26) so far - which is a healthy enough number. That will probably triple over the next couple of weeks as entrants take advantage of cut-price entry to the Fringe. (£45 in February, £65 in March and £80 in April - until we close for entries on April 25th). Anyway I was saying "exciting" and then found myself talking about money and bargains - how could that happen?
Well at least two exciting new things this week. I'm too old and vocally-disadvantaged actively to enjoy the Gilbert & Sullivan that begins in the Fringe and then goes beyond it - so my promotion of it is born out of disinterest. (I choose the latter noun deliberately; I am sufficiently grumpy an old man to be irritated by the use of 'uninterested' when clearly I am not).
Will I ever get to the exciting bits? - all these distractions about money and language. So all you 8-18 year olds - a sizeable part of this Blog's readership - get yourself into the auditions for The Pirates of Penzance. (For 18-30s [!] you could be doing The Mikado). For more details see the Fringe website or go to: www.pbtheatricals.co.uk
The other new entry that caught my eye is Antigua Joe - who looks like he could cause a bit of excitement. If I can, I'll find out more about him and let you know.
There are several other new entries that we haven't featured yet - including some new dance to be performed at the Community School. When I have more news and information it will be passed on.
