WHAT
ARE YOU GOING TO DO UNTIL AUGUST 11th?
All good things must come to an end. But, now that Mayfest is over, there’s no need to panic. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is only two months away. So what to do until it starts on August 11th? Well, you could always send for a programme (out late June). Then at least you can spend time planning what you’re going to see in August. For your copy, send 50p in stamps to the Fringe Office, 180 High Street, Box L, Edinburgh EH1 108. Or pick one up free from hundreds of locations throughout Scotland,
