What To See At The Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017

Vogue / Olive Pometsy


Celebrating its 70th year, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is upon us once more and, with its enormous and eccentric arts programme, there’s certainly no shortage of things to see. From performances that will make you laugh to those that make you cry, and the ones that get your toes tapping (or maybe even all three), here’s what to catch in the Scottish capital this summer.

                

Sh!t Theatre’s DollyWould
Award-winning duo Louise Mothersole and Rebecca Biscuit return to the festival with a quirky show that celebrates their mutual love of Dolly Parton. Adventurous and unexpected, the show is a whimsical departure from the ordinary as it tells the story of Dolly entering herself into a drag lookalike competition.

FK Alexander’s (I Could Go on Singing) Over the Rainbow
Recreating Judy Garland’s last ever performance of “Over the Rainbow”, FK Alexander sings along to the recording of Garland’s iconic song, performed just four months before her death. Set in a tiny room, FK gives the audience her full attention as she provides an intimate and immersive experience.
