While the Fringe is always about looking forward, discovering new shows and talent, and showcasing it, there are many shows with a historical angle, and today I’m looking at two of those shows which approach history from a different angle. The Last South is a retelling of Scott and Amundsen’s race to the pole, told by their very own words in their diaries, while Bridget Christie wonders just what King Charles might have made of the 21st century.

What a dilemma…Radical Puritan or Dog S*** Taster. :D
Was that a Welsh accent for Oliver Cromwell?
Another character worth developing more.
That was absolutely historical.
I am just going outside. I may be some time…

Yes, Cromwell is played as a Welshman.
