The British Council in association with Temperance and Creative Scotland invites theatre and performing arts' people to The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Roadshow, a panel discussion on the what, why, and how of the Edinburgh Fringe, touted as the largest performing arts festival in the world. This panel discussion will be useful to the performing arts' companies and individual artists who would like to know about the Edinburgh Fringe festival and about the opportunities of participating in the festival.
