I love hearing about #EdFringe shows, and you're more than welcome to tell me about yours. I can't reply to every message, but I promise I do read them all - and I've often picked shows to review that I first learned of here. Just so you know, I mainly cover theatre.

We managed to catch @shellshockimpro this evening at the @durhamfringe - what a laugh! We had great fun watching them recreate the events of the Norman conquest of 1066, though Alastair still isn't sure he remembers an apple seed, or an XXL slingshot, on the Bayeux tapestry...
