Be a part of the international theatre scene at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! The Edinburgh Fringe is the world's largest arts festival with over 2,500 international performances from 60 nations taking place in over 300 venues over a 25-day period. The Fringe was established in 1947 as an unjuried alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, and has often showcased experimental works that might otherwise not be invited to a more conservative festival. Students will go on a day excursion to the Scottish Highlands and attend a variety of unique performances at The Fringe; experiencing the culture and history of Edinburgh, Scotland and its ties to the international theatre scene.
