PATRON’S PICK:
The Patron’s Pick is decided after every company’s 4th show.

The winning plays will be announced on Thursday July 12th at 9pm at the Fringe Club, will be posted on our website and will be listed at the Festival Box Office and all venue box offices. 100% of the tickets available for Patrons’ Pick performances can be sold in advance.

BEST OF FRINGE:

BEST OF FRINGEKIDS!:
“The Best of Fringe Kids”, is hosted at Theatre Direct (Wychwood Barns).

6. In the Community:
Who is Edward Bond? He’s widely considered one of the most political and radical theatre artists in the world and one of the most important living English language playwrights. With work focusing on the abuses of authority and the need for justice, he is the playwright for the post-G20 age. Sheep No Wool has three amazing opportunities for emerging artists to engage with Bond and his work. Click HERE for details.
