Fringe TheatreFest is a low-cost opportunity to savour a whole variety of theatre. There are professional companies at the top of their game, community companies presenting ambitious work, aspiring professionals, schools, colleges, youth theatres and other groupings each with their own reasons for taking part. All share a passion to communicate. The festival is not juried or curated or censored. So the programme doesn't conform to a single vision of how theatre should be made or what it should contain but instead presents a huge range of approaches.              www.theatrefest.co.uk
