There are many reasons as to why this is however the main one being that there is a large amount of events and festivals within the Edinburgh Festival that can accommodate all ages and variations of people. In order to effectively understand consumers it is important to research where and why people attend the festivals themselcves

My aim is to conduct a critical analysis on the Edinburgh ‘Fringe’ Festival, an annual event with the purpose of providing a platform for unjuried theatrical performances. This event is an established one and has been held in Edinburgh every August since 1947, when eight theatre groups turned up uninvited at the Edinburgh International Festival and decided to perform their shows at the ‘fringe’ of the festival.

On September 29th of 2016, I went to go see the production of Let the Right One In presented by The University of Oklahoma, University Theatre, and Helmerich School of Drama. The play is a stage adaptation by Jack Thorne based on the Swedish novel and film by John Ajvide Linqvist with the same title. It was performed in the Weitzenhoffer Theatre and was directed by Tom Huston Orr. Furthermore, it was the American premiere for Let the Right One In and it was an honor that the Helmerich School of Drama

At the time, however, my fashion choice simply had to be the height of style. Imagine the horror of looking plain on my first day! After all, I wanted to make a good impression on all the new faces I’d see while volunteering at the fringe. The Edinburgh Fringe must be one of the most vibrant and creative places to be in the world during summer, so I was beyond myself with excitement to be given the opportunity to participate in such a monumental part of Scottish culture. However,

Bouncers; 17th of October at High Wycombe Swan Theatre. Bouncers is a comical, yet serious dive into urban nightlife. The actors use multi-role to play a variety of different characters with hilarious results. Throughout the updated version of the play, John Godber (original writer and director) highlighted his intentions through Lucky Eric’s daunting monologues; we still drink too much as a society today. Nonetheless, the dated stereotypes and the use of Frank Sinatra and ‘Thriller’ did make the

that I never have even dreamt of; I have even had the chance of performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival twice. The strenuous rehearsals do not bore me, yet added to the thrill and excitement of the stage. My acting chances with my local youth theatre have helped my future and my growth. My experiences have assisted me through raising my confidence. One example of this is through my work at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. By which I had to converse with the public including children, adults and so

Another funder, Chicken & Egg, is also requesting Executive Producer credit on many of the films they support, e.g., "Pariah" has "Julie Parker Benello, Judith Helfand,

Perlman; 139w Paper Assignment #3 Media texts are created from past events that have occurred and often times Hollywood would try and manipulate the event so it represents the past and the reception it gets through different communities. The film Argo (2012) is no exception trying to show a “Hollywoodize” event of the Iranian Hostage Crisis which received mixed receptions and is controversial on how the event is portrayed. The film is often criticized for the authenticity and accuracy of how the

Research I got the idea to create a remake centric film festival from a project I did in another film class. In that class, my group and I decided to do a presentation on horror film remakes. While trying to decide on while two films to talk about, I found that a multitude of horror films had been remade. I continued looking up films that had been remade and eventually made it through the lengthy list of horror films, and found other genres that have had remakes. Once I found enough content to
