Eccentric, Eclectic Fringe Festival Opens
...............EDINBURGH, Scotland -- Thousands of thespians, comedians,
musicians and even mimes descended on the Scottish capital Sunday for the
opening of the Edinburgh Fringe _ the world's largest arts festival, and
arguably the most democratic.
At the Fringe, anyone can register, pay a fee,
find a venue and put on a show. That means a raucously diverse program whose
1,800 shows encompass college revues, up-and-coming bands, star comedians and
avant-garde theater.
Where else could a U.S. high school production of
"Footloose" share a program with a rap version of "The Canterbury Tales" and a
musical about a presidential assassin?..............
...........Indeed, the program includes "Terrorism: The Musical,"
"Apocalypse: The Musical," "Lee Harvey Oswald: The Musical" and "The Brighter
Side of Alzheimer's" _ needless to say, a musical...........
you KNOW you want to go with me don't you????
