Mark Stephen celebrates 70 years of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Seventy years after Edinburgh's first Fringe Festival, Mark Stephen takes in the atmosphere and follows some of this year's intrepid performers as they prepare for opening night.

Some say would say it's all about living the dream. Others, perhaps more cynically that it's about continuing doggedly on in the face of almost certain disaster! Either way it's loud, it's brash, it's chaotic, it's creative... and it's fabulous. Mark Stephen dedicates this edition of Our Story to the 70th Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
