FESTIVAL ’94
he ultimate tonic to Festival fever and frantic Fringeing — three special weekly issues of The List to guide you through the maze that is the world’s greatest arts bonanza. Your
favourite events magazine has remodelled itself into neat little Time Zones to make your festival pickings the best possible. Just choose the time and we’ll guide you to the event
For those too bamboozled to even look at festival programmes bursting with theatre, art, music, comedy and more, we offer bite—sized chunks to savour. Delve into our definitive Top Ten for the week’s sure-fire successes and sample each time zone’s very own Hitlist. There will dwell the most enthralling, amusing or invigorating events from a programme of more than 1000 shows. Events cutting across time zones will appear in the time band where they are first performed, but we’ll inform you of other times at the end of each review.
We offer ticket information to ease the trauma of getting into the shows you choose to see. And for those more interested in spectating than paying, check out our freeloaders.
There are separate sections for Festival Film, Art, Clubs, Music; each with their own Hitlist. And as life is more than just a stage, our Festival Eating Out Guide supplement will give you the ideal excuse to indulge in an entirely different menu. So if you plan to absorb some culture and don’t know quite where to begin, tuck The List under your arm and head for the Festival heights.
