If Modern Language students travel abroad to immerse themselves in the culture, energy and vernacular of their subject, then what is the equivalent trip for students of theatre? The answer, in my opinion, is the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Every August, the ancient capital of Scotland is flooded with every form of theatre one can imagine. Auld Reekie bursts with dramatic energy!
If this trip is your first time attending the festival, or your first time bringing students, I recommend going as a tourist, rather than bringing a performance. Get your feet wet with the festival first and save the production for a later trip.
