Bad news from Edinburgh: the Forest Café, home of Forest Fringe, the most inventive and fresh theatre and performance art you’ll see during the August festivals, is in the process of being sold from under the feet of the artists’ collective who lease the building year-round. The identity of the buyer is not known, but rumours circulate about a chain coffee shop: and what a shame it would be for this quirky, rough-round-the-edges space to be brought into anonymous corporate line. If the sale goes through, this August would be the last that the Forest Fringe, directed by Andy Field and Deborah Pearson, would be able to operate out of the cafe. Still, my guess is that – ingenious and bright as they are – they will find a new home.
