Being Edinburgh during the Fringe this is an occupational hazzard, and while it has been worse in previous years, it’s pretty bad. But is it raining in the theatres? Is it dampening the spirits of the crowd (or even the Spirit of the Fringe?). Not a chance, the energy is high, and everyone is just getting on with it and finding out which shows have free promotional umbrellas (*).
