'There's so much creativity': Cork has a cut off its first Fringe Festival

Does Cork need a fringe festival? With the inaugural Cork Fringe Festival taking place a month before the Cork Midsummer Festival (CMF), its directors, Daniel Cremin and Ineke Lavers believe there is a gap in the festival market for emerging developmental work that may not be ready for something like the CMF.
“It’s an opportunity for artists to workshop new projects in a low risk environment and potentially, to maybe bring it to the CMF,” says Cremin. He describes himself as a magician, a performer and producer, having started playing with magic at the age of four. He now does “psychological magic” in theatre-based shows.
