Filming the press launch.
|
|
The DJ for Shakespeare rap/play Brothers Othello
|
|
The Brothers Othello in full flow.
|
|
The Boy with the Tape on his Face. He didn't stray far from the literal when naming his act...
|
|
Lunch in the meadows with friends. Perfect.
|
|
Performers on the Royal Mile. I wonder why she caught my eye?
|
|
Bat Boy the Musical. I managed to resist.
|
|
Very "fringe".
|
|
Having a little nap on the street. All that performance is exhausting I guess, but it is only the first weekend...
|
|
Let's not forget there's something else happening this summer too.
|
|
We went to see these guys - they were talented performers but the play was a little bland..
|
|
Freaky contact lenses. I hope.
|
|
Rachael puts on a wee performance of her own.
|
|
Wit Tank. Their name is funnier than their act.
|
|
Free Mojito - WIN!
|
|
Assembly at George Square. It fair brightens the place up!
|
|
Surprised.
|
|
Liza Minnelli lookalike. She sounded pretty good too - fine lungs on that girl.
|
|
Hovering as if by magic...
|
|
A very serious look.
|
|
Smiling in the sunshine.
|
|
This guy was happiness personified as he handed out flyers.
|
|
Not so happy.
|
|
Scary.
|
|
OK now we're onto surreal...
|
|
...then to creepy. I worry where this is going next.
|
|
Ahh, beauty. That's OK then.
|
|
Cheeky American girls.
|
|
Look who I found in the crowd!
|
|
Ruth gets in on the act with her camera too.
|

A play entitled The Complex: Electra.

The Creative Martyrs at Kabaret. Brilliant.

|
|
Simon Callow in The Lightening Conductor.
|
|
An ice-cream sundae heirdo?
|
|
I think this was just his usual outfit.
|
|
Masked in the sunshine. That's going to give an odd tan line.
|
|
Saving the photographer the trouble of framing the shot?
|
|
Elegant.
|
|
Alarming.
|
|
Another mask, this time for a really special tan!
|
|
Green lipstick. Whatever next. Mind you, I would say she's pulling it off...
|
|
Satan.
|
|
One of The Mechanisms - a rather good Steampunk Space Pirate band we went to see. Something that is only ever said at the Fringe I suspect.
|
|
There's been a murrrrdurrrrr!
|
|
The High St was packed every time I visited, with a great atmosphere.
|
|
This chap liked it so much he brought a tent to stay in.
|
|
ORANGE penny whistler.
|
|
This is the first year I've seen George Street closed to make way for a temporary venue.
|
|
The Creative Martyrs at their own show. Brilliant.
|
|
Looking a little scared.
|
|
Roo Campbell. Underattended but really very funny.
|
|
The lead singer of The Mechanisms (the Steampunk Space Pirate band we saw). They really are very good. Oh, and I think Ruth has a bit of a soft spot for him.
|
|
Another performer "resting" on the High Street,
|
|
That is spectacular hair.
|
|
Sleepy clown.
|
|
Mournful face.
|
|
The High Street is packed once again.
|
|
Staring into space.
|
|
Sad clown.
|
|
Another pretty face in a crowd of young hopefuls.
|
|
Princes Street Gardens in the sunshine.
|

That 50/50 look.
|
|
One last song from the Creative Martyrs.
|
|
Another photographer stalks his prey.

|
Ruth appears through the crowd on High Street.
|
|
Bad hair day.

Quizzical?
|
