Festivals Office launches programme
The University’s Festivals Office has unveiled a new programme of events for the 2009 Fringe.
The programme includes musical theatre, dance, comedy and children’s performances.
One of this year’s highlights is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”.
The show, from the acclaimed Beijing Film Academy, will be a highly visual mix of music, dance and martial arts.
It has been put together by some of the team who worked on the Beijing Olympics.
The Festivals Office has full details of all shows and venues.
