Anyone who heard the recent performance of Peer Gynt perfomed by the BBCSO featuring Irish actors playing the dramatic parts will have noticed (or ‘can imagine’ for you blushing culture-absconders) how perfectly appropriate the brogue fitted with the folksy mythical themes and characters.

The writing is unassuming but fearless, the acting superb and the spell woven subtly, only broken by the applause when you realise – that was really bloody good.
The story has political undertones, but when you come down to it, it’s a damn good comedy that touches on many different facets of immigration.
Like 90s spam for physical enhancements or James Cameron’s box-office revenue, next year’s Fringe promises to be the biggest yet! We sent a wee-little heckler to check out the truth behind these exciting claims.
