Edinburgh Fringe Week 4

Fringe is coming to an end. Tomorrow, the entire city will look hungover and I will post the widely ignored Ry Fringe Awards! But for tonight, I will just pay homage to the best shows of the past week. I saw 16, bringing the complete total to 36 (about 1% of the total performances on offer.) And there were a lot of brilliant shows this week, so I will just mention my top three:

The astonishing, playful aerialists of BY A THREAD

The inimitable Elf Lyons lovingly skewering Swan Lake in ELF LYONS: SWAN

And the masterful acrobats and contortionists of CIRQUE KALABANTÉ: WOW
