Edinburgh Fringe Grows Bigger Than Ever

Backstage: In the true spirit of its founders, the 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe will defy the effects of a gloomy global economy by staging its biggest ever line-up of acts and performers. British rapper Dizzee Rascal will join thousands of actors, dancers, comedians, musicians, artists and acrobats in August at the 64th Fringe in a month-long talent showcase for everyone from top stars to unknowns chasing fame.
