ho would have thought that, in a period of economic depression and worldwide recession, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe would flourish, grow and blossom into the most spectacular celebration of the arts that Scotland has seen over the last 46 years? Well here you have it—and a very warm and special welcome to the 1992 Fringe.

This August and early September, Edinburgh will host the largest Fringe it has ever seen. 540 British and overseas companies from all corners of the world will surprise and delight with their own style of performance. From Malibu to Moscow, Bulawayo, Cologne, Sydney to Dayton, Ohio—the 1992 Fringe has an international gathering of artistic talent and inventiveness to celebrate.

1

In choosing what to see, search for your favourites, take some chances and make your own discoveries; expect the unexpected, be adventurous in where you go, blit most of all, enjoy these short festival weeks and fill every free moment of every day with theatre to remember. From Tea-tasting at elevenses; Kirk opera in Dunfermline Abbey; premieres in theatre; fast-talking stand-up cabaret to celebrities conversing with celebrities; after dinner didgeridoo; Bluegrass ballet and ceilidhs after dark, there is entertainment for all.

s Amateur and professional, famous and infamous, inside or outside, Edinburgh will be transformed by the Fringe into the ^largest stage in the world. Have a very good time making your own Fringe discoveries and enjoy soaking up the riatmosphere of one of Europe's finest cities and the world's greatest arts festival.
