COVER STORY BO BURNHAM Following a blockbuster Fringe debut three years ago, the talented Mr Burnham returned to the US to work with Judd Apatow and create his own MTV sitcom. Now he’s ready to face the Fringe again, with a new show that aims to be more theatrical in nature, and contains what Burnham describes as ‘bombastic introspection’. Find out more on page 14.

KNIGHTMARE LIVE! The cult, early-90s TV show has been revived as a Fringe stage production – we don the Helmet of Justice and enter Lord Fear’s terrifying dungeon. PHILIP GLASS Renowned composer Glass joins forces with equally iconic punk poet Patti Smith to remember and recreate the work of seminal Beat poet Allen Ginsberg.
