Camden Fringe has announced over 400 shows

Now in its 20th year, Camden Fringe has announced a programme of more than 400 shows playing across 40 venues this summer. With a huge offering of theatre and comedy, the programme also offers dance, magic music and more at venues including Etcetera Theatre, Hen & Chickens, Camden People’s Theatre, The Bill Murray, the newly opened Libra Theatre Café, and The Old Red Lion, which is presenting festival-within-a-festival Shakefest. From one-off performances to longer runs, the programme spans everything from the serious — such as Bloody, Bloody Kansas (28 Jul – 2 Aug, Hen & Chickens Theatre), a show about America’s first known serial killing family — to the absurd, with ELON MUSK: Lost in Space (1 – 2 August, Theatro Technis). There’s also the operatic, such as The Marriage of Figaro (7 – 9 Aug, The Cockpit and 16 – 17 Aug, Upstairs at the Gatehouse), musicals including The Canterville Ghost: The Musical (23 – 24 August, Libra Theatre Café), and the comedic, with NEPO, BABY! (20 Aug – 22 Aug, Etcetera Theatre) and Lust In Translation (3 Aug, Museum of Comedy).
