Ramblings on 20years of Edinburgh Fringe

<p>20 years ago, a friend I didn&#39;t really know that well organised for four of us to go to Edinburgh Fringe for a long bank holiday weekend.</p> <p>Cripplingly shy in drama at school, and not really having been to the theatre or festivals before, I just tagged along.</p> <p>I seemed to think that I already liked Edinburgh. My dad took me on a day trip when I was little: early start, drive to York, train to Edinburgh. A day trip - flasks and sandwiches wrapped in foil - but he still got me to send a postcard to my mum.</p> <p>Back again at 20 I loved the layers of the city (not a metaphor, but Cowgate), the old tenement blocks and churches, and every nook and cranny turned into a venue. The city, a mountain, the sea. All of it beautiful come rain or shine.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@snapcracklespop/20-years-of-edinburgh-fringe-4a695cb8118d"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
