Sean’s Show Schedule for 2019

Unlike previous years, I planned almost all of the schedule before I arrived in Edinburgh.  As such, I can write more about the schedule beforehand than I usually do.  I did leave the 10th and the 11th mostly unscheduled to allow me to see plays suggested by people I meet.  If you wish to share a play with us/me, please send me e-mail:  mailto:sean@fringefan.com

 I chose to match Tim’s complete schedule this year for the weekdays of the second and third week.  He is much more knowledgeable about the production qualities of the companies.  Because of the dearth of high quality Fringe theatre at night, I will join him at the International shows the six nights he has scheduled for them. 

Melissa provided me with a list of 150 shows that she was interested in seeing.  Many more were at the Greenside and theSpace venues than I would normally choose, so this year has quite a skew from my past selections.  Part of the skew is due to the disappearance of C Chambers Street, and the two small rooms in the Assembly Hall.  On the other hand, the Assembly Rooms have expanded their theatre offerings.

Somethings do remain the same.  As usual, I will see everything that the Traverse offers.  Summerhall is still Tim’s favorite venue, and Out of the Blue is still a must see for the last day.
