Edinburgh 2007 roundup

I saw 17 shows at the Edinburgh Fringe this year, which is slightly above average for me.

Edinburgh 2007 - lessons (re)learned

Doing a Fringe show with Two Shades of Blue is a wonderful luxury, in that we can assume as a baseline things which many other companies struggle to get right. We have an experienced and competent production staff who know the Edinburgh ropes; we have a large company to hand out flyers (at which we're far better than the average company); our scripts, though not to everyone's taste, appeal to the majority and are actually funny; the cast can all act; in short, we can take as a given that the show will be better than at least 70% of the stuff out there, and can spend the performance week focusing on getting people to see it. And even there, things are a lot better than with many other companies - something's gone seriously wrong if we're late for a Royal Mile slot. Nonetheless, I've ( (re)learned a few lessons this year )

Any I've missed?
