Edinburgh festival

[Nemesis9]

Is anyone from AB at the Edinburgh festival this year, if so what have you seen, and what are your recommendations?

[wii man]

i went last year and saw a brilliant adaptation of mcbeth called mchomer. it was the story with only 1 or 2 changes to make it funny and it had a guy doing impressions of all the simpsons characters. homer was mcbeth and marge lady mcbeth. i don't know if it is on this year but it was brilliant so if you are going to the festival go and see it

I am going to Edinburgh on Monday, dont know what I will be doing yet, but am VERY keen to go see "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead"

Have a great time mycats.
The Assembly rooms, as always has some strong material this festival.
'Allegiance', with Mel Smith has had good reviews (he plays Churchill, and, 'Midnight Cowboy' staring Con O'Neil.
If you go see that one I'd be intrested to know your opinion

mycats....let us know if Robbo is good in it, won't you? Would like to go and see it too. Nemesis, you are so right, Assembly Rooms have had some fantastic stuff on in recent years. Absolutely loved 12 Angry Men 3 years ago.
I'm definitely going to do a few comedy shows, as always, and will try to see Robbos stand up show that he wrote himself (tho will need to check the name). want to see Frankie Doyle and Andy Parsons, maybe Brendan Burns and Doug Stanhope too, we'll see how the finances go.
