STREET theatre, aerialists, comedians, drama, drag and dance will be part of the first Durham Fringe Festival, it has been revealed. There are expected to be 30 acts from across the region and beyond at four venues across the city from July 28 to August 1. The event is the brainchild of local paediatrician Stephen Cronin and three of his friends, who live or work in the city. They have formed a Community Interest Company to keep Fringe going for years to come. Their interests in community arts brought them all around the virtual table to organise this year s event and they have been working with local partners such as Durham BID, Durham Markets, The University Theatre and Durham School.
