Tight fit as phone box record is crushed

A BIZARRE world record was broken yesterday when 14 volunteers squeezed into a phone box in a stunt to publicise a show at a top arts festival.

Curious tourists gathered on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile as volunteers slowly shoehorned themselves into the tiny space.

At first, it looked like the stunt, dreamed up by Kabosh Theatre to promote their Fringe festival production of Eugene Ionesco’s Rhinoceros, was doomed to failure.
