The great thing too, about the Edinburgh Festival is the sense of community spirit and the atmosphere. Whether your a Community Theatre Company or travelling professional troupe, you will receive a great welcome, and no matter who you are, you can never tell if your audience will be made up of one member or one thousand and one!

The last play I had on in Edinburgh, which was part of a Scottish tour had the unexpected surprise of a full house and lock outs. It was the first and only time, so far, that I've ever been locked out of from my own play! Over the next three weeks, I will be highlighting the best from Dance, Theatre, Writing, and Music.

Thank you for reading this article, the first in a short series featuring highlights from the Edinburgh Festival 2001.
