The Clyde Fitch Report: In 1997 I co-founded the New York International Fringe Festival. In our second year, The New York Times was calling us an institution and in our third year we had one of our shows, a musical with the unlikely title of Urinetown, transfer to Broadway where it won three Tonys. The following year, 2000, I directed a show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and we were fortunate enough to win a Fringe First. In 2002 I directed four more shows in Edinburgh and had to buy a new suitcase at the end of August to lug home all of the awards. Since then we’ve picked up three more Fringe Firsts in Edinburgh and two Adelaide Best of the Fringe Awards. So it would seem, on the face of it, I should have a working knowledge of what makes for a successful Fringe.
