This year marks the 25th anniversary of the fringe festival — now the second largest fringe festival in the country.
The online version of the programme was released in January, with details of the nearly 80 events across more than 35 venues which include ROADKILL: The Uber-Cool Musical, a one-man musical performance inside a parked and kitted-out ‘‘party van’’, and BRinG bAcK ThE STaR FOunTAIn, a performance art recreation of the ‘‘elusive, mysterious, almost-mythic’’ Star Fountain once located in the Octagon.
The festival runs from March 13 to 23.
