Our city's theatres are not only helping put the city on the map nationally but also offer great community support. So is it time for a Stoke Fringe Festival, asks Mel Osborne
This is a great idea. Local organisations produce different styles of art and theatre and many as you say involve local people. You referred to Restoke and Appetite - they have amazing portfolios of work. Urban Wilderness, Festival Stoke, 6 towns Festival organisers and many other groups create spectacle, experience and memories. Then we have live music of all kinds, film makers, artists, writers and poets.
Thanks for your comment, Linda! Yes, we have much to be proud of don't we? A fringe festival would be an excellent addition to our cultural scene. Here's hoping!
Always enjoy. Re: "The Queen's Shoulders". It was great but the play perhaps deserves a "reprise" rather than a "reprisal", which you wrote inadvertently. A reprisal would be very unkind to Ava....
