the capital of the festival
Слайд 4History of the Fringe
The Fringe story began in
1947, when
the Edinburgh
International Festival was
launched. It was seen as a
post-war initiative
to re-
unite Europe through
culture, and was so
successful that it inspired
more performers than
there was room for.
Слайд 5The dates from the facts of the Fringe Society story
- a story which is far from over.
1947
Eight theatre groups turn up uninvited to the
first Edinburgh International Festival. The inn
is full so they check in at venues away from
the big public stages. The first Fringe has
been born. There is no central box office, no
Fringe Program, no advance publicity – the
interlopers just arrived.
Слайд 6 1958
The Festival Fringe Society becomes
organized. A constitution is
drawn up, a
brochure with all non-festival shows
published, tickets sold centrally,
a club set up
and information given. Artistic vetting is to
have no place in the societies aims, a decision
which remains central to the development of
the Fringe.
Слайд 7 1966
Tom Stoppard Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern are Dead is premiered
by
the Oxford Theatre Group.
Слайд 8 1971
John Milligan the first Fringe administrator is
employed. The first steps to a more professional Fringe are
being taken. 7:84 Scotland perform their first Fringe production at Cranston Street Hall, Trees in the Wind by John McGrath
Слайд 9 1980
The annual competition for the Fringe poster design
is launched in schools all over Scotland. The competition attracts
around 3000 entries every year.
Слайд 10 1992
Technology makes the Fringe box office more user-friendly
than ever before, rendering the famous queues up the High
Street a thing of the past. There is nostalgia for the heady days of one man in his basement office sorting out the mile-high tickets, but for both public and performers booking in, things are much easier.
Слайд 11 2000
The Fringe became the first arts organization in
the world to sell tickets online in real-time. Over 4,500
bookings were made over the internet.
Слайд 12 2001
The Fringe is still getting bigger. In 2001
over 600 groups from 49 different countries performed 1,462 shows
in 175 venues across the city. On the first two days of the festival a "2for1" ticket initiative is launched increasing audiences over that weekend by 226%. Ticket sales soar to a record £6,636,093.
Слайд 13The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is officially the largest arts festival
in the world.
