was a very good Edinburgh Fringe, but perhaps not a classic. A classic band almost certainly means that at least one or two five-star show, and I have not seen. Mission drift, TEAM U.S. company, came close. It's hard to stop thinking about the stars in Edinburgh at this time of year. It is mainly a matter of seeing the stars - and I do not mean Julian Sands, Simon Callow and Diana Quick, who are all performing at the periphery, and in most cases to draw attention more than the material deserves. I mean the kind of stars that are above revisions stuck out places in the city.
The star is now everywhere in cultural criticism began in the fringe of Edinburgh. With the Scots run hundreds of comments in August, we had to find a way to make some programs stand out among the newspapers. A number of stars has done its job very well. But like all the stars and what they mean nothing at all about the three weeks of the band?
With the publication of a level of performance last week (another record), has been much talk of grade inflation in Edinburgh, we talk about inflation all star. Check posters or flyers that are delivered to the street each and every one of them is covered with four or five stars. Today there are many pop-up publications and websites that cover the range that almost all production is able to achieve a rave review from somewhere. Suddenly, everyone is a winner, walking in Edinburgh and you might child who is not a show without bursting into the city
This is not true, of course. I attended some programs untold during the last two weeks, and some other major (Directive is curious is your last breath, Crunch Gary McNair, Chris Larner an instinct of kindness). But even the four stars that gave these productions must be seen against a backdrop of Edinburgh is a long period shows that the case in Edinburgh were delighted, they are more vulnerable when they arise in London or in another place a few months later, which is one reason why I am cautious about the delivery of the stars too easily. A lot of work at the margin is small in size and scope. Small can be beautiful - but wait too can kill the prospects for a show stone dead. Furthermore, it is good to be realistic. The puppet show The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik is a total joy from beginning to end, but it is not King Lear
The danger of being too parsimonious, while around him are liberal with the stars is that theatergoers are accustomed to higher inflation and a star prune anything but mentally and the madness lies. "What are the needs in Edinburgh," a producer very seriously told me the other day, "is a classification system of the seven stars, like the A-level A * or A **." On the contrary, we need is moderation, consideration, and contexualisation enough space to write meaningful and reflective of a program.
public aging Edinburgh
There are many things I love about my job, but few would make me happier than watching young companies take their first steps into the theater. From my (admittedly completely unscientific) observations, the audience for theater in Edinburgh, seems to be age. For several years, I often felt like the oldest person in the queue, this year I have been to several shows where I'm pretty sure everyone got a pass to the bus. But if the public is increasingly (and given the rising cost of tickets, it is not surprising), companies are becoming younger. More business graduates or recent graduates in this age of what I've seen in years. Taking into account the production costs involved, it is encouraging that the tenacity and entrepreneurship for them to get here. Interestingly, many of them are having the work done, rather than traditional works. In addition, while most of the proposed work is fragile and light, it is also full of invention and craft - the use of shadow puppets tools to wireless technology. Yes, there have been days when I felt like I never wanted to see another puppet, or put another pair of headphones - I just wanted to see another good game - but the scope of pure imagination of a Many of the events suggests that the future of British theater, despite all the difficulties of funding, brilliant. Children can do anyway, and they will do well.
