Fringe

Every year the fringe is flooded with one-person shows, a sensible format for emerging artists. After all, going it alone means artistic freedom – and low overhead. From an audience perspective, it’s all about selection: Pick the right solo show and you’re in for an intimate experience that could change your life. But pick the wrong one and you’re in for a long, boring haul.
