Edinburgh festival: day two at the fringe

attack today includes the best coffee, the best toilets and the best shows for adults and children - and I also want to hear your memories marginal

Seeing Stars

theater critics use stars or not? This is a long debate, especially among critics themselves. I've always enjoyed reading reviews Susannah Clapp in the Observer, mainly because of the absence of stars make you read until the end, and allows the nuances and ambiguities. Edinburgh, however, the stars of the rule. Walk in some places as the festival grows and feel like a boxer who has just received a blow and the vertigo of stargazing.

The danger is that because of inflation hearings star can no longer see what's really going on. I always thought it was a real concern in the early days of the festival, though of course the rare five-star South African programs such as Mies Julie Assembly Mound - certainly the best of Miss Julie that I have ever seen, and I've seen a few - stand still (I will review the document in time a few days).

But most shows fall much closer to the center of the beach and in the center during the first days of the festival, you must be careful. Add an extra star for effort or ambition, and runs the risk of his own cause of inflation star when you see the next show of the day, which is better. Let you know three and could affect the success of a business at the box office. However, show three-star hotel in Traverse almost certainly means something very different from a three-star show a young company with a show first, second or even a third less prestigious, and three stars in The Guardian means something different in the three-star Scotsman, which is still different from three stars Broadway Baby. What I want to know is if festival public understanding or distinction?

Scene and heard

When I arrived in Edinburgh in 1980 - well before, I think - most of you were born, there were no children in the room Gaza. It was strictly for adults (in fact this is not true, it was mostly for the over 18 and under 30 -). But over the years the children's theater has been transformed to the point that it is possible to come to the party with the kids in tow and have a good time as Jon Spooner unlimited intention. In fact, two of the best shows I've seen this festival are performances for children, two of them in the Scottish Book Trust, as part of the season Traverse. They remind us that Scottish children's theater hits well above its weight. Catherine Wheel, which was a great success here at the festival and globally with white, back to the festival with The Ballad of Pondlife McGurk, a word play (big band on this year) or the theater to tell stories on-nines that captures a moment of betrayal recreation with real intensity and emotional truth.

Pondlife is likely to use both adults nostalgic for their own school days (or even the burden of guilt for their own school behavior) as it does for children, and it is also the case of Shona Reppe brilliant Curious News Josephine Bean. It is a mystery, scientific research and a love story that is full of ironic asides ("I had a case a while." Tiny Break. "Now, I'm married") and runs simply, but with imaginative invention. All is well.

better margin bathrooms far:
