 Fringe Theatre Festivals
The contemporary fringe phenomenon began in Edinburgh in 1947 when a number of performing artists who were dissatisfied with what they considered the elitist programming of the Edinburgh International Arts Festival decided to create an event of their own.
Between 1985 and 1991 a circuit of 7 fringe festivals was established, opening in Montréal in June and ending in Victoria in October.
However, because fringe theatre is artist-generated, unlike other cultural events that depend heavily upon government funding and critical approval, the future of fringe festivals will depend upon the activities and energy of small independent theatre companies and artists and on their ability to continue to excite and attract audiences.

But now the West End has gone fringe with the arrival of Trafalgar Studios 2 last month, a 98-seater venue carved out of the rear stalls of what used to be the Whitehall Theatre, above which is now the larger Trafalgar Studios 2 that rises from the old stage to meet the old dress circle.
And although a lot of good work is being done on the fringe, I do worry if there is quite enough to sustain a transfer house in the West End, especially since it’s difficult to make the money that such a transfer costs back with such a small seating capacity.
