As we come to the end of week three, we sit down with Anthony Alderson, director of The Pleasance Theatre Trust.
We touch on several critical issues running one of the largest venues at the Edinburgh Fringe, including the continuing impact of COVID and the importance of government funding to the Fringe community and The Pleasance. Given the cost of the Fringe is on everyone’s minds, we talk about turnover, tickets, and artistic risk.
We also talk about the work of The Plesance to support and promote the arts at Edinburgh in August and throughout the rest of the year, including various Pleasance Futures projects and the ambition of creating sustainable touring for theatre in the UK.
- The Pleasance Theatre Trust.
- The Pleasance at the Edinburgh Fringe.
- The Scotsman Fringe First awards for Week Three.
