How to understand “theatre groups”?
How to understand “theatre groups”? Does it mean “Performers of music and dance”?
Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared?
A. University students.
B. Performers of music and dance.
The answer is A. I cannot figure out why B is not possible. Thank you!
In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an interactional festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reuniteEuropeafter the Second World War.
At the same time, the "Fringe" appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
