Periodic Table of Edinburgh
By Yianni Agisilaou
Ah Edinburgh. Back again so soon?
Anyone who has spent an August at the Fringe knows it contains freakish space and time bending properties. Any event which takes place outside its borders exists outside of space and time and is – in essence – imaginary. Someone told me that the US Senate had voted to raise the country’s debt ceiling. My first thought was, 'serves them right for coming up with Avalon.'
Edinburgh figuratively becomes the universe: In honour of which I have created this 'Periodic Table of Edinburgh' – a sometimes true, sometimes funny list of the 117 elements which make the Fringe the adored, hated, inspiring, frustrating, beguiling, monstrous bastard that it is.
Click on any element to see its Edinburgh equivalent then click on the description again to remove it. Enjoy!
