This is a blog for those with a bohemian bent, which is my way of saying I can sound a bit trendy whilst being a complete idiot. And use hashtags and stuff. @edfringe #Fillyerboots.
But I do have one bit of sound advice for anyone who wants to binge on theatre at the world’s biggest open arts festival – the Edinburgh Fringe. DON’T produce a show here.
That’s not to say you shouldn’t come here as an actor or technician or in fact any other role with a show. Just don’t produce if you want to see a lot of theatre. I’m guessing even the rich big-shot producers would agree.
Now not many people in theatre know what theatre producers do, and at the level I’m at we do a lot. A real lot. There’s always something to do, work on, improve, network, promote. And if you find you have a bit of free time, you will, of course, take flyers to places and people. I know there are still a pile of flyers to get though. We’ve sold out a few times, got great 5 star reviews. But. Maybe if I do a bit more flyering… you know… on top of the flyering already being done by the flyerers, I might… just might… sell one more ticket. It’s got to be done. So I won’t go and see that show, I’ll use my time more productively.
I’m planning to go and see a few more shows next week. Oh hang on! The bloody festival finishes on Monday! Bugger!
