Back for the fourth year running, the Camden Fringe is set to take over NW1 and fill it with an unusual mix of classical theatre, new writing, stand-up, children's theatre and a few productions that defy any attempts to label them.
Between the 3rd and 30th August you can check out any of the 399 performances of the 118 productions on the bill, all of which are spread across four venues: the Etcetera, the Camden Head (formally the Liberties), the Camden People's Theatre and, new for 2009, the Roundhouse Studio Theatre.
The full-line up will be officially announced on Monday 1st June, but our insiders have managed to get a peek at a few of the names that will be doing turns this year. Caryl Churchill has re-written her 1997 This Is A Chair, while the Get Over It girls are producing a glam-rock version of Macbeth with an all-female cast to boot. Looking backwards, there's an outing for The Regina Monologues, presented by Queen Victoria as a drag act. To finish it all of with a bit of laughter, comics Robin Ince and Scott Capurro are on offer while sketch shows Four Monks and a Nun and The Intimate Strangers get physical.
For the full line-up and ticket information check out the festival's website from Monday 1st June.
