Best of This Week's Edinburgh Blogs - 28 Aug 2009

Every week our theatregoer reporter Corinne Furness trawls the web to find some of the best gems from the myriad theatre-related blogs and condense them into one easy-to-read “Best of the Blogs” round-up each Friday. This month’s it’s all been about Edinburgh. This is her final Fringe festival instalment...

With less than a week before the end of the Festival, bloggers were keen to look back on their Edinburgh experiences, piecing together what exactly happened after weeks of cramped flats, late nights and self promotion.

On Whatsonstage.com’s festival site, Chris Grady considered the importance of maintaining momentum even in the final weeks while Jennifer Rowland reflected on what she had learnt during the course of August. For Edmund Digby-Jones, however, it was time to discuss two of the major features of Edinburgh: flyering and not remembering what happened the night before.

Flyering continued to be a favourite topic for bloggers elsewhere too: it was Marc Hogan’s turn this week as he considered his finely-tuned technique and the terrors (and success) it has given him.

The Fringe Review, meanwhile, took on the issue of reviewing at the Fringe, posing the question as to what exactly a five-star rating means when, as anyone who has braved the Royal Mile will know, every show seems to have one from somewhere. Finally, Phil King looked to the future and posed the question that would be so easy to avoid answering: what happens next?
