Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2011
Welcome to our 2011 programme and we hope to see you at possibly the most beautiful festival venue in Edinburgh. Last year our New Town Theatre, miraculously created in the grand Freemason's Hall on George Street, was named Best Festival Fringe Venue (edinburghspotlight.com).
This year, in addition to our main stage Majestic and Mysterious theatres, we have added three new intimate spaces - Magic theatre, the glorious Freemason's Committee Room, and there's even a show in the Ladies' loos. In between shows you can relax in our foyer bar.
This is our 22nd Fringe and through all these years we have introduced thousands of professional artists and companies from around the world. This year we are excited to present high quality, intelligent entertainment by companies from Australia, Brazil, England, Poland, Scotland, the USA and Zimbabwe.
Have fun with the exotic Pinocchio: A Fantasy of Pleasures or become a jury member in Silence in Court, marvel at Snails and Ketchup (part of the Made in Scotland 2011 showcase) and join Fiona Kennedy for The Kist, full of Scottish treasures on a journey around the world. Enjoy great music and voices from Australia, England and the USA, bump into Virginia Woolf in the Ladies' and bring children to meet Lewis Carroll telling the stories from Alice in Wonderland.
We look forward to seeing you and have a fantastic Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2011.
