Ticket Talk | Edinburgh: Underground, Overground
The News, Muse and Whisperings of Edinburgh Festival
Week -6:
Underground, overground;
In Edinburgh there is often as much to be seen below the world heritage streets as above. For every temporary structure (purple or otherwise) is a cave, vault or subterranean carpark playing host to a variety of performances in August. The newly discovered Pleasance UnderGrand, a disused air raid shelter, may only be available for one year, but has captured the resourceful spirit of a Festival arguably in danger of loosing a sense of itself.

(The shelter was apparently built to hold upto 300 brewery workers - if it were not for the theatre programme no doubt one of the Festival's 'impressarios' would be keen to convert it into accommodation for Festival performers)
