Now listening again with the script.
In 1947, the Edinburgh International Festival was organised to cheer up postwar Britain. For three weeks, every August and September, the city is filled with actors and artists from all over the world. During this time, the streets of the city are alive with music and dance, from early morning until late at night. You can see artists painting pictures on the streets.
One of the best parts of the Festival is the ‘Fringe’, where students do comedy shows in small halls and cafés. Tens of thousands of tourists come to the Festival to see films and plays, and hear music played by famous musicians. This year, you can see over 500 performances, with actors from more than 40 countries.
The tickets for these performances are quite cheap, and it is usually easier to see your favourite star in Edinburgh than it is in London.
