Welcome to the Assembly programme and our 29th year of presenting events in Edinburgh – it promises to be the best Festival yet. Our two key venues in 2009 are the Assembly Rooms on George Street and Assembly Hall on The Mound. Within these venues we give you nine temporary theatres jam packed every day from 11am until 1am with the very best comedy, theatre, dance, music and exhibitions to be found anywhere on the Fringe. Joining our largest theatre on The Mound, Assembly Hall, are two new theatres, Rainy Hall and the Baillie Room. Make sure you get along to see some great shows and have a drink in the new courtyard bar. As ever, Assembly George Street is the core Fringe venue with six theatre spaces and three bars so join us there to see the very best of what Edinburgh has to offer. The Assembly programme aims to set the highest standard at the Fringe, providing the very best of entertainment celebrating international and UK based productions. We are particularly proud of our programme of Scottish work in this the year of ‘Homecoming’. We suggest you mix your schedule – go to the large shows in the Assembly Hall and the Music Hall for some of the most exciting and spectacular work to be found at the Edinburgh Festivals, and check out the small and middle scale theatres to discover some of the best new work around. Edinburgh is the best festival in the world. If you want a great time come and join us in being part of it. William Burdett-Coutts |
