2nd August 2019
Today marks the beginning of the Edinburgh Fringe festival – a thriving scene of arts and culture with thousands of shows on offer across the month of August in Scotland’s capital city. Whether you’re taking part in a show (or several!) or watching as many as you possibly can each day, it’s a chance to get involved in an amazing celebration of the arts.
We’re extremely proud that there are quite a few current or past BOVTS students at the festival across this month – you can sample verbatim theatre, Shakespearean children’s theatre or even stand up comedy, to mention a few! So if you’re heading to Edinburgh this month and want to take in some BOVTS talent, read on for the full details on some of the wonderful shows our current or past students are involved in.
