Welcome to the 2008 Prague Fringe Festival blog! In its 7th year, the festival of performances absurd and profound--and perhaps both at once--features work by 39 companies from around Europe and the world.

From May 25-June 1, a whopping 227 performances take place in various Malá Strana-based venues. With a performance spectrum that includes comedy, music, theater, improv, film, and more, there's bound to be something for you. See the Prague Fringe Festival website for the full schedule and venue information. Then pick up a guide at any of them, and check this space daily for our take on the shows you loved, hated, or have yet to attend.
