Will Franken, Spiked, 25th August 2016Bechdel Testing Edinburgh Fringe festival
This month we're taking time out from holding Bechdel Theatre Festival conversations to Bechdel test some of the many (many, many) shows at the worlds biggest theatre festival in Edinburgh. We've been endorsing Bechdel test passing shows with stickers. Keep your eye out if you're looking at a wall of posters and want to choose something with women at the forefront to break up the overwhelming maleness of most of the festival scene. If you see this logo you can be sure that women are being represented.

Unless you have had a total sense of humour by-pass, I defy you not to be thoroughly entertained. In fact, you'll need to see it a second time to get all the bits you missed while laughing the first time!
