Nightnews Supports Dark Shows At The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2009

Nightnews, covering the Fringe in 2009!
We are back officially again for 2009. This includes the usual pre selection and recommendations list to other media; ad hoc PR work in support of shows and any special requests from artists and productions that fit the Nightnews editorial policy. So its even more dark fun than ever, picking and reviewing shows for you this year and hanging at the usual late night thesp and musical watering holes!

Our dark remit remains the same....
Nightnews is typically covering 'dark' events. These may be of a theatrical, musical or burlesque nature, also film, exhibitions and dance; we may include some comedy if sufficiently dark and in bad or shocking taste. All with select Reviews and Nightnews Bat Awards! See previous remits for 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008

Unmissable
Dance and Physical Theatre, Events, Exhibitions, Music, Musicals and Operas, Childrens Shows and Unmissable Dark Shows at the EIF Full Recommendations List, Click Here... click on your browser back button to return to this page. Here are a few of the shows that raised eyebrows in 2009 one way and the other!

Trilogy
165 minutes of feminist celebration, including some mass nudity. Hair for 2009!?.

Aerial Shows
Quite a few of these in 2009, all quite breathtaking and well worth a visit. All listed and rated below; Tales of the Apocalypse and Noir by Airealism. RAW by Fidget Feet Aerial Dance Theatre. The Moscow State Circus for the ultimate aerial super-professionalism.

Faust at the EIF
http://www.eif.co.uk/faust
This seemed to hit all the right buttons for the type of 'mega production,' dark show, we like to support and visit, but it was not part of the fringe programme...

Dark Comedy recommendations
Full List Click Here...
click on your browser back button to return to this page

Comedy has taken up 32% plus of the Fringe programme which is a joke in itself! Technically Burlesque should be listed in this section but in practice owing to the nature of the fringe program and the experimental nature of some productions, it will be scattered throughout the fringe categories! If you are producing or performing in a pro burlesque show, be sure to let nightnews know!
