I have written a play - a real humdinger. It has a pretty epic scope, a relatively staggering vision and somewhere in the region of 20 characters. Each of which has been performed and recorded in isolation, producing a litany of individual voices - each of them perfect, captured as a single track that will, when played back in precise unison, form a glorious theatrical polyphony. The play is perfect. The recordings are perfect. I just need enough people to hit play. That's all.

Heading out of London in search of culture may seem like a crazy idea for those who've never been to the Edinburgh Fringe. But this counter-cultural smackdown is not to be missed, even if it does mean heading "oop north 'cross t' borderĀ£" (yes, you will have to cross the M25). But newbies need not be intimidated; we went up recently and survived to tell the tale. So here are 10 things to remember to ensure your Fringe isn't too, um, hairy:
