In the past, the Bath Fringe festival has featured cutting-edge theatre companies and performers, some of which have moved onto success with more mainstream audiences. The likes of Forced Entertainment, KAOS Theatre, Ridiculusmus, and The Tiger Lilies – of Shockheaded Peter fame – have graced previous Bath Fringe programmes, to name but a few. This year, the festival website proudly announces it has fulfilled some long-held ambitions to present the best festival ever. So, is this the case?
Steve Henwood, spokesman for the event, says the addition this year of the Spiegeltent is a highlight, but also fulfils one of those long-held ambitions.
