Brighton Fringe Festival

[ClaRK! Kent]

For those of you in the Brighton/London area (ie: me and Liam, I think), the Brighton Fringe Festival is on at the moment.

Looks really solid this year, loads more stuff that will be in Edinburgh as well, which is good 'cos in previous years they haven't had much from the Edinburgh contingent. Comedy looks really strong, as does the serious drama, and it should be a really wicked week or so.

Two productions I can recommend to anybody who is going to the Fringe, both student pieces but very, very good nonetheless. And I'm not just saying that.

- HelloID's production of Othello, on Fri 12th-Sun 14th May at the Pressure Point just off the Old Steine. 7:30pm, although there's a matineé on Sunday too. Fantastic piece, it's French Revolution-esque in the costumes and feel, with a really strong Iago. Come on Friday or Sunday night to see me doing the lighting.

- Off The Cuff, on Wed 10th-Fri 12th May at the Hothouse, University of Sussex, 7:30pm. Improvised comedy from possibly the funniest student comedy troupe in the country. They've already been compared to the Goons and the Pythons, so catch 'em here for only a fiver whilst you still can.

Yeah, I've noticed all the stuff out for the Fringe recently...shame that I have essays and exams coming out of my ears at the moment. Might see if I can check some of the stuff out.
