Fringe organisers call on audiences to ‘dare to discover' as festival begins
The 2025 Edinburgh Fringe festival opens on Friday, with the organisers calling on audiences to 'dare to discover' the thousands of shows on offer over the next four weeks. This year's edition of the world-famous festival runs from August 1 to 25, and will feature 54,474 performances and 3,853 shows – including 1,118 shows from Scotland, and 829 from Edinburgh itself. The festival will see artists from 63 countries taking to the stage at venues across the capital, in a programme that includes comedy, theatre, dance, musicals and children's shows. The Fringe street events programme begins at 11am on Friday and will run every day until August 24, with performers putting on shows on the Royal Mile and the Mound. The Fringe will run alongside the Edinburgh International Festival (EIF), which runs until August 24 and will see more than 2,000 internationally renowned artists from across 42 countries putting on more than 133 performances across the city. With its theme of The Truth We Seek, the organisers of the EIF say it offers 'the possibility of truly transformational encounters' across its richly varied programme of music, theatre, opera and dance. The organisers of both festivals have said ticket prices have been set to make them accessible to as many people as possible. The Fringe has an average ticket price of just over £13, while half the tickets for the EIF will be sold at £30 or less, and £10 tickets have been made available for every performance. Tony Lankester, chief executive of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, thanked all those who are helping make this year's festival happen. 'This is my first Fringe as the Fringe Society's chief executive, so this is an incredibly exciting moment – I've attended the Edinburgh Fringe before, but never in such a front-row seat,' he said. 'It's taken a lot of people a lot of work to get us to this moment, so I'd like to thank everyone who has a hand in making it happen. 'That includes the venues around the city; the local businesses, stakeholders and officials; the wonderfully warm and welcoming people of Edinburgh; the members of the media and the arts industry who make this festival such an important part of the calendar for participating artists; and of course the indefatigable and undefeatable artists themselves, without whom there wouldn't be a Fringe at all. 'We're so grateful that you've chosen to be here this year, and I encourage any and all prospective audience members to go out, enjoy the festival and dare to discover the amazing work on offer.' Meanwhile, EIF director Nicola Benedetti said this year's International Festival is a 'bold invitation to question the world around us'. 'We're honoured to welcome artists and audiences from across the globe to Edinburgh, and we remain deeply committed to making that experience more accessible than ever', she said. 'Whether you're here for an intimate recital, a powerful play, a mass sing-along or an eight-hour choral epic, you'll encounter connection, curiosity, and the power of great art to shift perspectives. 'This year's Festival offers the possibility of truly transformational encounters and I look forward to sharing this with you.' The Fringe festival line-up includes 501 more shows than are included in the printed programme, due to some having been registered since the programme launch on June 3.

On Writing by Stephen King: How to write a bestseller by Stephen King
On Writing by Stephen King (Hodder & Stoughton £22, 416pp) Together with Grisham, Clancy and Crichton, Stephen King is one of the world's most successful authors, earning hundreds of millions of dollars from his stories, which are full of his trademark 'dread and wonder'. Even if you've never read one of his actual books, everyone has seen a film adaptation: Carrie, The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, or Misery, in which an Academy Award-winning Kathy Bates smashes James Caan's ankles – Caan plays an author, Bates an over-besotted fan. In On Writing, and at the risk of sounding like 'a literary gasbag,' King promises to divulge the secrets of his craft. That's to say, how 'ambition, desire, luck and a little talent' blend with one's personal knowledge of 'life, friendship, relationships, sex' to create, if not works of literature for the ages, then bestsellers. King's lessons, originally published in 2000 and reprinted in this new edition, will hold few surprises to those of us taught English Language O-Level, back in the last century, when high standards pertained. Thus, delete extraneous verbiage, especially adverbs and clumsy exposition. 'Your main job is to take out all the things that are not the story.' Secondly, be plain and direct. A fancy vocabulary is pretentious. Don't ever say 'at this point in time' or 'at the end of the day,' or assume 'my angry lesbian breasts' is clever. Obscurity belongs solely with student poetry groups. King is correct to say writers must be compulsive readers. 'I take a book with me everywhere I go,' he asserts. If you want to pull the reader in and get them to keep turning the pages, focus is essential. 'Once I start work on a project, I don't stop and I don't slow down unless I absolutely have to.' There must be no distractions in the study, such as a television set, video games, or intrusive music. Which is all well and good – highly sensible. But in the end, King can't explain how he became Stephen King. Inspiration, to him, remains a complete mystery. 'It came from nowhere . . . It arrived whole and complete, in a single bright flash,' he says of a typical novel's gestation. It's what he lives for, it's what gives him joy, 'that sudden flash of insight when you see how everything connects', and the next thing we know, King is pouring out his fables about vampires invading New England, people being trapped in cars by rabid dogs, policemen going berserk and viruses wiping out 99 per cent of the human race. King was born in Portland, Maine, in 1947 and brought up in poverty by a hardworking single mother, Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King, 'a sharecropper living a largely cashless existence'. He never knew his father (who had walked out when he was a toddler) or had a father-figure, only horrible nannies, who'd 'just all of a sudden wind up and clout the kids'. Most of his childhood recollections involve acute pain: wasp stings, dropping a brick on his foot, 'mashing all five toes'. Taken short outside, King wiped his bottom with poison ivy. Gigantic blisters appeared, leaving 'deep divots of raw pink flesh'. There are terrifying descriptions of having an infected eardrum repeatedly lanced. 'The pain was beyond anything I have ever felt since . . . I screamed so long and so loud I can still hear it.' His mother Nellie's main memory was seeing a body fall from a building. 'He splattered. The stuff that came out of him was green.' Children don't forget being told things like that – King certainly didn't. For a year, King was bedbound with complications from tonsillitis. He read loads of comics, watched lots of television and began imagining his own macabre scenarios about robot monsters, teenage grave-robbers and 'radioactive corpses that came out of the ocean and ate surfers'. He also had a penchant for anything involving 'girls in black bras who looked like trailer trash' and for watching Vincent Price's screen victim Hazel Court 'wandering around in a lacy low-cut nightgown'. King became expert in fantasy-horror and science fiction. His own works would be notable for a 'hallucinatory eeriness', and, while at school – where he edited a magazine called The Village Vomit, which got him into trouble with his teachers – King was cranking out short stories for pulp magazines. He received heaps of rejection slips before getting his first acceptance in 1967, aged 20. There were plenty of dead-end jobs: in factories overrun by rats as big as dogs; in laundries, where tablecloths and motel bedsheets 'stank to high heaven and were often boiling with maggots'. King did his writing after work, in a cubicle in a caravan, where he couldn't afford a telephone. As a janitor in a high school, he noticed the tampon machine in the girls' showers. This, coupled with his awareness of bullying ('teasing became taunting'), and something he'd read in a newspaper about poltergeist activity and telekinetic phenomena, gave him the idea for Carrie – his thriller about a misfit traumatised by her first period. The book was published by Doubleday in 1974. Paperback rights were instantly sold for $400,000. There was a classic film in 1976, starring a blood-drenched Sissy Spacek. So, farewell cubicles in caravans. 'Do you do it for the money, honey?' King was asked by an interviewer. I absolutely disbelieve him when he answered, no, the work is always its own reward. None but a blockhead writes for anything other than money, and King is no blockhead. What he was, for a spell, was an alcoholic. 'By 1985, I had added drug addiction to my alcohol problem,' he recalls. He shoved cotton wool up his nose to stem the flow of cocaine-induced bleeding. Managing still to produce novels whilst stoned, King saw himself as belonging to that proud tradition of literary inebriates – Dylan Thomas, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway. Eventually, King saw sense: 'We all look pretty much the same when we're puking in the gutter.' It's a paradox that King came nearest to death when sober and clean. In 1999, he was knocked down by a minivan, which threw him 14 ft into the air. Before losing consciousness, he just about remembers 'wiping palmfuls of blood out of my eyes' from the lacerations in his scalp. King's lung collapsed. His leg was broken in nine places, the bones turned into Scrabble tiles. His right knee was split apart, his hip smashed, his spine chipped and four ribs cracked. There were to be many operations, much rehabilitation, but King (no stranger to agony) pulled through to write many more books, win many more Lifetime Achievement awards and earn lots more money. Such vivid slices of autobiography are what make this book vastly more than worthwhile.

Best-dressed celebrities in Britain are revealed by high society magazine Tatler... but do YOU agree with the rankings?
There may be two princesses – well, sort of – in the rankings but even they seem to be struggling to fit the bill. Tatler has come up with a 'best-dressed list' and the results are, to be kind, a touch questionable. The real princess, Alexia of the Netherlands was placed fifth, despite her wearing a plain green frock from Zara. Alexia, 20, is the second in line to the Dutch throne. The faux 'princess' is the only daughter of glamour model and I'm a Celebrity winner Katie Price, 18-year-old Princess Andre. She has landed herself an unlikely second place. Hailed 'the face of a new generation of British pop culture royalty', the teenager is now starring in her own ITV reality show. Placed first were high-society half sisters, Lady Lola Bute and Jazzy de Lisser, whose mother Serena Bute runs a fashion label and so, like good nepo babies, the pair have started their own. The only daughter of glamour model and I'm a Celebrity winner Katie Price, 18-year-old Princess Andre, has landed herself an unlikely second place With a contact book bursting full of industry heavyweights such as Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne, the success of their fashion venture seems inevitable. Queen of Pop Madonna and director Guy Ritchie's 24-year-old son, Rocco, comes third wearing a simple black tailored suit. Elsewhere on the best dressed rankings was the Swarovski heiress, Nadja Swarovski, who runs the British country label Really Wild Clothing, a favourite of the Princess of Wales. Continuing the royal theme, Zara Tindall, granddaughter of the late Queen, came seventh because, says the society bible, her 'wardrobe hits have been nothing short of spectacular'. She was, memorably, pictured at Ascot this year in a £917 Camille dress from the London-based designer, Laura Green. Though very much a royal, she doesn't qualify as a third princess on the list because HRH titles are limited to the children of the sovereign, the children of sons of the sovereign and, finally, the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales. Coming in at number six on the Tatler list was Bromley footballer Omar Sowunmi for having his own T-shirt line, Two Islands, which sells simple graphic tees for £60. In eighth spot was 'Triple Barrelled Suave', George Packe-Drury-Lowe, a little-known member of the aristocracy who appears because he once convinced Turnbull and Asser to recreate a near-forgotten turtleneck favoured by Lord Snowdon. Queen of Pop Madonna and director Guy Ritchie's 24-year-old son, Rocco, comes third wearing a simple black tailored suit Continuing the royal theme, Zara Tindall, granddaughter of the late Queen, came seventh because, says the society bible, her 'wardrobe hits have been nothing short of spectacular' Strictly Come Dancing star and Wimbledon veteran, Annabel Croft, 59, made ninth place for 'always a glam slam when it comes to event dressing' and, finally, in tenth place, was Zack Pinsent. The 31-year-old is the only entry on the list to be a qualified tailor and wears exclusively Regency-era dress. The Mail previously revealed Mr Pinsent was at the centre of a scamming scandal earlier this year after customers claimed he owed them thousands of pounds in undelivered orders such as a £350 pair of pantaloons and a Regency-style Covid mask. Disgruntled clients include an American theatre producer and his husband who claim they paid an £8,000 deposit for outfits for a fancy-dress event in Venice. Mr Pinsent said: 'I have never stolen money nor materials from any client. If I have ever had to discontinue working with a client, they have received a refund in compliance with their contract.'
