Dearest Festival Monkeys, please find below a round up of news from the Festival, local and Industry papers - we check out the rags and weave them into a gilded garment of Festival news for your delictation.
FRINGE NEWS
The Festival Fringe programme deadlines are 2nd April and 18th April this year! For the uninitiated this is the deadline for listings in the holy book of the Fringe. The Fringe Office Rep at the Birmingham Roadshow said that there were OVER 2000 registered companies already (there were around 2000 in the Festival last year). Is bigger better? Almost certainly.

Dearest Festival Monkeys,
Welcome to the myspace equivalent of The Brassed Monkey, Loft Bar or whichever of Edinburgh's many watering holes you choose to reside in during the hectic month of August. We decided to create this page to unite former, current and future disciples of the Edinburgh Festival. It has often been said that the best thing about a Festival is the people and we say say Edinburgh ain't no different.
Please be aware that we are a collection of the mad, bad and beutiful who have worked at venues, produced shows and generally partaken in the merriment of Edinburgh since 1992, an impartial group of laddies and ladettes who can share news and experiences. For office festival enquiries visit www.edinburgh-festivals.com.
So come one, come all tell tales on the world's largest Festival.
