'Definitive Answers' Regarding to Edinburgh Festival Are Expected Next Week
The Edinburgh Festival has yet to make an official statement regarding its 2020 programme, which is supposed to take place in August. However, 'definitive answers' are expected to come next week, according to Edinburgh News.
Fringe Society chief executive Shona McCarthy said: "I'm grateful to the hundreds of artists, producers, venues, residents and audience members who have been in touch with us this week to share their thoughts on the future of this year's Fringe. Whilst there have been many different opinions expressed, we know that definitive answers are needed and we hope to have them for you next week."
"This week we have been in regular dialogue with Scottish Government, City of Edinburgh Council, venues, partners and other stakeholders to work through all the options and find solutions," she continued. "This is a complicated process but one that is moving forward daily."
