Today I'm looking at the announcement that the Edinburgh International Festival has in fact got a programme lined up after all, and it starts in five days. Plus a remarkable story of the community that exists in theatre, that happened 9 years ago today as Sandy Thomson, Director of theatre company Poorboy, as well as a playwright and director, was preparing for an ambitious Fringe production that was about to open. Follow Sandy on Twitter @poorboy_stories. Thanks so much Sandy, for sharing your story.
