Seeing shows on the West End have been big and outstanding performances that I knew were going to knock my socks off but having one of our assignments being to see a fringe show, which is more of an “off-off-West End” show, I could experience a more intimate and experimental performance.

fringe! (not the bang kind)
I had no idea what to expect out of a fringe show. Of course I had heard, mainly from Shawn, what the typical fringe show was supposed to look and feel like, yet I still had some doubts. Was it going to be some dimly lit, bad view, cramped pub theatre that I was supposed …
