Voicebox: Brighton Fringe

Brighton Fringe

Brighton Fringe takes place every May and is a great place to spend the May bank holidays and the summer half-term break. This vast celebration of all things creative has grown out of, and is inspired by, home-grown talent. More than 50% of participants are based in Brighton and Hove. The festival is committed to helping the arts flourish and are completely open-access, which means anyone can put on a Brighton Fringe event. No selection criteria are imposed on participants. This enables both new and established performers to try out new work and take risks. They also help artists develop professionally through a range of workshops, mentoring and bursary programmes. A wide array of critically acclaimed shows and performers also appear at Brighton Fringe each year, drawn by the huge number of appreciative audience members who attend every year.

    Review: Sh!tfaced Shakespeare: Much Ado About Nothing

    by Ash Edmonds Kickstart

    A group of classically trained actors performing Much Ado About Nothing is not necessarily anything too unique. However, in this unconventional show, one such actor is royally drunk – and hilarity ensues.
