The direcctor of one of Edinburgh’s most high-profile venues says that the city’s Fringe Festival should be designated the main Edinburgh Festival. This is “the latest round in a lengthy pitched battle between the fringe and the official festival; the relationship between the two seems marked by mutual incomprehension and a distinct lack of cross-festival collaboration or cooperative programming. And whereas the international festival receives £2.5m in public money, the fact that the fringe gets just £65,000 has always rankled.”
