Brighton Fringe Festival celebrates its 20th birthday this year, with hundreds of shows of every genre playing at venues across the city from Friday 2 May to Sunday 1 June.
As he prepares to open a show at the festival, writer/director Nick Myles talks to other lunatics egomaniacs creatives about why they’re bringing their work to the bustling “London-on-Sea” to sink or swim in an environment that’s only marginally less competitive than the granddaddy of Fringe Festivals: Edinburgh.
From artistic inspiration to hopes and expectations and the mucky business of finance, hear what seven writers have to say about their artistic babies, from naked Shakespeare to sitcoms.
Just click on the images below to read what each writer has to say.
More information about Brighton Fringe, including all the shows taking part, can be found here.
