8 award winners from FRINGE WORLD 2017 who are back
They're fairly average, at the end of the train line and saving the world - FRINGE WORLD 2017's award winners were a diverse bunch.
We've collected a few who are returning to the 2018 Festival to do it all again, sometimes in completely different ways.
Lucy Peach in My Greatest Period Ever.
My Greatest Period Ever
With a heart of gold, a silver tongue and a steel trap like wit, exultant folk pop wunderkind Lucy Peach recounts through music and stories how teaching high school students about periods evolved from the nuts and bolts of how to use a tampon, "good luck and have a nice life", into; 'My Greatest Period Ever'. Witness the proof and a heart warming, eye-opening musical exploration into modern folklore and what it means to be or love a woman in the 21st century. There will also be capes.
So Fresh: The Fairly Average Dance Party.
