The Quality Reviews Site for Fringe Theatre



Welcome to FringeReview.

 See new London Fringe reviews here

Reviews for Edinburgh 2008 are  here.

We are the reviews publication that actively seeks out good theatre.

Established in 2006, FringeReview is a team of writers, performers, directors, producers and theatre practioners who are passionate about theatre.

 

Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2008 reaches its close.

 

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2008 is now over and FringeReview is glad to have provided extensive coverage of theatre across the city. We saw over 250 shows and about 210 made it to our three star or above threshold. Once again we mostly made the right choices by keeping our ear to the ground and seeking out the good in fringe theatre.

Our Promise 

FringeReview
began at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2006  provides considered reviews of theatre, and productions from chosen Fringe Events in the UK. 
 
We do not review all events on offer but rather make a considered selection.  We seek out good quality theatre and tend to review shows having already researched a group, writer and piece in advance.. Our reviews are written by people who work in the field. We do not shy away from detailed, constructive critique, as you can see from our Reviews Policy.
 
      

Our Position      

   
Reviews are designed to enable you to enjoy Fringe theatre. We sit on the fringes of the Fringe and dip in on your behalf.

Warm wishes

The FringeReview Team
