what's it all about?

Now in its sixth year, Fringe TheatreFest is a lively, friendly celebration of theatre in its many and varied forms. With over 30 companies taking part, presenting nearly 100 performances between them, Fringe TheatreFest makes for an extraordinarily intense 4 days of theatre-going.

The line-up is wonderfully varied: from dramatic writing to comedy improv, from a mentalist to a mime, from re-worked Shakespeare to tall tales in narrow boats. There's a healthy showing for dance, there are productions for family audiences, there are simple story-telling pieces and large-cast extravaganzas – in short, there’s a whole world of inspiration to enjoy.

All this is priced at a level that allows you to savour the variety. Best value of all is the Frequent Fringer Voucher which costs just £15 for 6 shows - meaning that each of the shows you see costs you just £2.50. Incredible!

and there's more

As well as performances in the 4 established venues, be on the look-out for out-side performances on The Square, surprise encounters in the streets and a link-up to the USA from a Barnstaple home.
