Edinburgh Springs 'Awake'

Production: All of them!
Rehearsal Wk 4
by Susie Dumbreck (Company Manager)

Sitting in a cafe in a very wet Edinburgh. Have seen production trucks, scaffolding, Lampies, Noise boys (and girls) and a copious amount of multipocketed shorts and steel toe capped boots roaming around outside the major venues as the fit up for the fringe well and truly gets underway.

Those who know and love the Edinburgh Fringe will know that very soon Edinburgh becomes a heaving mass of artistic talent which sings, dances, plays, laughs, crys its way into the city. Every available flat in the town becomes an artistic haven for those performers who are lucky enough to get the chance to come here. Alongside this we have the dedicated fringe going public - who are what really make this festival one of the most special in the world.

So it's with great joy that I see the large 33 sign go up outside The Pleasance, the home of RSAMD's Spring Awakening offer this year and where the courtyard will soon be filled with the chatter, excitement and of course queues of performance going public (oh and lots of lager/cider swigging in the bar).

Those who are swithering over whether to come to Edinburgh this year - DO IT - the programme really is fantastic. Make sure you get along to RSAMD shows. Follow us on twitter @RSAMD_Fringe.
