After ’08 Fiasco, Fringe Society Gets Set For Major Revamp

“The new Fringe Society structure is expected to be in place in time for next year’s festival. [Edinburgh’s] Fringe Society was set up in the late 1950s, when a constitution was drawn up, setting out the policy of not vetting or censoring shows. … However in 1959 there were 19 companies attending the Fringe; this year there are more than 2,000 shows.”
