Description
Guy Masterson, one of the most well-known and well-respected theatre producers on the Edinburgh Fringe, this year celebrates his thirtieth consecutive festival season. However, he has announced that this is also to be his last festival visit as a producer. BTG Editor David Chadderton spoke to Guy just after the first performance of one of the shows in his programme for this year about producing nearly 150 shows over three decades, the trials and joys of producing, writing, directing and performing at the Fringe and his decision to stop producing shows there. In Guy’s programme for this year’s Fringe, Making Marx and Victor’s Victoria both run at the Assembly Rooms from 1 to 26 August 2024 each day at 11:35AM and 8:30PM respectively. Guy’s solo shows Under Milk Wood and Animal Farm are both at Pleasance at EICC at 6PM, the first on 14 August and the second on 18 August. For more information about Guy and his work, past, present and future, see the Theatre Tours International web site.
