Kelly Apter picks out the highlights for children and families from week two of the Fringe
FOX-TOT! We loved this new show from Scottish Opera so much, we’ve given it five stars. Following on from the success of their previous show for little ones, BambinO, Fox-tot! is aimed at toddlers aged 12–24 months, who are very much encouraged to get involved. See review, page 76. Edinburgh Academy, until 16 Aug (not 12), 10am & 11.30am, £12 (adult and baby); £7 additional adult.
DEXTER & WINTER’S DETECTIVE
AGENCY Two fearless 10-year-olds set out to prove an injustice in this fun, energetic but ultimately honest and compassionate show from the acclaimed Paines Plough theatre company. See review, page 76. Roundabout @ Summerhall, 10 & 11, 17 & 18, 24 & 25 Aug, 11.20am, £10 (£8).
FEAST OF FOOLS Quick-witted and captivating storyteller Daniel Serridge invites you to join him for a banquet of stories, where you get to choose whether they’re ‘disgusting’ or ‘delicious’. See review, page 75. Scottish Storytelling Centre, until 18 Aug (not 13 & 14), 1.30pm, £8 (£6).
ERTH’S DINOSAUR ZOO Meet a cute baby triceratops, stalking tyrannosaurus rex, giant titanosaur and more in this large-scale hit international show, with lucky volunteers given the chance to get up close and personal. See review, page 76. Underbelly Bristo Square, until 26 Aug (not 12), 11am, £14.50–£15.50 (£13–£14).
ALICE AND THE LITTLE PRINCE A joyous mash-up of classic authors Lewis Carroll and Saint-Exupéry, when Alice and the Little Prince meet up in the Queen of Heart’s Rose Garden. As good for adults as it is for children. See review, page 76. Pleasance Courtyard, until 18 Aug (not 9), 1.30pm, £8–£9 (£7–£8).
