Fringe theatre
In 1948, Robert Kemp, a Scottish journalist and playwright, described the situation, "Round the fringe of official Festival drama, there seems to be more private enterprise than before ...[3] Meanwhile, in the United States, experimental theatre was growing due to the political protest of the Vietnam War.The Living Theatre, founded by Julian Beck, is considered the leader of the "flower power" and "hippie" movement.[3] Fringe theatres were attractive to people in the 1960s due to their adventurousness but became less wild in the 1970s while the standards of production rose.No restrictions are made as to the nature, style or theme of the performance, though some festivals have children's areas with appropriate content limitations.[9] Fringe festivals typically have a common organising group that handles ticketing, scheduling, and some overall promotion (such as a program including all performers).Awards or favourable reviews can increase the tickets sales of productions or lead to extra dates being added [original research?].[citation needed] Fringe festival productions often showcase new scripts, especially ones on more obscure, edgy, or unusual material.
