		Critics meanwhile tended to characterise the Fringe as the poor, but inspiring relation of the Festival - Fringe companies in other words offered a sideshow entertainment as a contrast to the superior, professional and international standard of the opera, music and drama productions who had been invited to take part in the Festival.
