Voicebox: Edinburgh Fringe

There is a lot of preconceived notions of what Edinburgh Fringe is and isn’t! I’m here to put some of those ideas to bed.

"Being raised in a very deprived, working-class estate, you’re led to believe that these things just don’t happen to people like us."

An interview with Frankenstein: How To Make A Monster's Tyler aka Wiz-RD 

The shining black musical that brings to this year's fringe the radical story of an 1850s Virginia slave who mails himself to freedom in a box 

An ever-changing dreamy performance on our ever-changing weather (and beliefs about weather)

OUT by Rachael Young is an extremely powerful physical meditation on the painful, and productive, relationship between blackness and queerness

"Most shows go unnoticed - be prepared for that or fight it with cash."

After another intensive reviewing period at the largest arts festival in the world, the Voice team weigh in on which shows are awarded their Pick of the Fringe.

"Growing up in an isolated mining community there wasn’t much to see in terms of arts. Every Christmas the Nutcracker would be on CBC television and Mikail Baryshnikov was (still is) INCREDIBLE. Watch that man move. He’s unreal."

Nice.

An exhibition highlighting the need for change in order to halt the impending climate and eco-emergency. Eye opening and peaceful protest to raise awareness of important issues.

The show is moving, emotional, tear-inducing and gripping from start to finish. Go see it.
