DRAGON LADY:  BEING ANNA MAY WONG.  Will be performing at Venue 348, C Soco Building on Chambers Street throughout the festival from 30th July to 25th Aug (Not 12th), 5:10pm everyday Alice Lee-actor/producer - PR Cal Wynter of Green Room Presents on 0207 669 4103 or enquiries@greenroompresents.com. DRAGON LADY: BEING ANNA MAY WONG is a one woman show about the 1930s Hollywood film star, Anna May Wong.  Born in Los Angeles, Anna May Wong (1905 – 1961) had always dreamt of being a movie star. Like many “coloured” actors in Hollywood, she struggled to break through the glass ceiling.  It would be decades before she finally starred in roles outside the stereotypical demure butterfly or villainous vamp to eventually become the first Chinese American film star to achieve international acclaim.  DRAGON LADY: BEING ANNA MAY WONG brings to life the battles the film star fought and the sacrifices the woman made.  An inspirational story of the groundbreaking icon  Anna May Wong.

Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Students

Presents

"I Love You! And You... And You...",

www.iloveyouandyouandyou.com

 a feel-good romantic comedy about one man's quest to find "the one" for him (deciding between the five beautiful and vivacious ex-girlfriends he's let slip through his fingertips). Our show is running everyday from

 31 July - 25 August at C Cubed (venue 50).

Ellen Cribbs wrote the romantic comedy in honour of her British boyfriend, who is now her producer as well as an audience member. The cast consists of actors from four different countries who are all students of the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

Five girls. One guy. Lucky man! Or maybe not... Mark is looking for 'the one', but must choose from one of the five beautiful and talented ex-girlfriends he let slip through his
fingertips.

The audience controls the ending of this feel-good comedy by voting for which girl Mark inevitably tries to win back. With five alternate endings, the performers are always on their toes!

The two famous guys that both seem to be on acid... they both have their audiences in stiches and rolling in the aislesRubber Man Comic from Holland Eric Koller and the master of mime comedy from Polland Ireneus Krosny posing for the press after their performances at Hill Street Theatre, 19 Hill Street, Edinburgh.
Universal Arts
 was formed in 1998 by Tomek Borkowy and Laura Mackenzie Stuart by amalgamating Arts International Exchange (est. 1994) and Eastern European Media Services (est. 1993). It acts as performing arts promoters, agents, producers and arts related consultants.

We believe that in a market economy theatre production is like any other product, which has to be well developed and marketed to attract potential buyers (i.e. receiving theatres, festivals and, most of all, audience).

The original aim of Universal Arts was to assist international theatre companies to extend their touring reach by showcasing work at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and marketing it to international theatre and festival programmers.  This has since extended to developing a world-wide agency and a production arm of the business.

THE MANAGEMENT

Tomek Borkowy – Artistic Director
Born in Warsaw, Poland, he graduated with a Master’s Degree from the State Academy of Theatrical Arts in Krakow. Tomek Borkowy has nearly 35 years of experience as actor, director, producer, theatre manager, agent and drama teacher. Since his first professional appointment as Artistic Director of the repertory theatre company ‘Young Theatre’ in Krakow in 1978 he has worked on literally hundreds of theatre and film projects. Film and TV management includes running Eastern European Media Services UK. His original agency work focused mainly on Eastern European theatre companies. Recognising the central role which the Edinburgh Festival Fringe continues to play in the promotion of international productions he has worked closely with the Fringe for last 18 years. His impressive track record in presenting innovative international professional work won him a Herald Angel Award. A natural extension of this work was to develop the year-round touring potential of key clients. Developing such links is an on-going priority for Universal Arts in order to maximise the sales advantage to its clients.

Laura Mackenzie Stuart –
 Managing Director


For many years Laura has worked in business and financial administration of the arts. From 1990 – 1998 she was Deputy Director of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world’s largest arts festival. Particular areas of responsibility included co-ordinating the needs of over 700 companies coming from all over the world each festival, running the Festival Box-office (turnover of £1.5m in 8 weeks) and running the Sponsorship Department. Membership of the Society’s Management Committee provided 8 years experience in forming a solid foundation for arts business management. Laura joined Universal Arts in 1998 as Managing Director. As the year-round representative of professional touring companies in the UK and abroad she has formed close working relationships with Visiting Arts and a number of British Council offices and gained financial support for a number of clients. Laura has worked with the Producers of a number of shows which have been launched during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and which have gone on to reach international acclaim. She also has a broad based knowledge of current industry standard marketing practice and a proven track record in running large departments and controlling and implementing all aspects of current employment legislation.

USA Weekly News 100 Star Awards for the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe include the following Fringe Shows,
Ths is not a final list as other 2008 Edinburgh Fringe shows are still being considered for by the editors of the USA Weekly News for USA Weekly News 100 Star Awards from film footage taken during the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival:

1. A Festival Dickens - Simon Callow performed at the Assembly
 

2. Life at the Molecular Level presented by Present Attempt, performed at the Underbelly

Present Attempt were also winners of a USA Weekly News 100 Star Award Night
 for Attempt 3.4 presented at the 23007 Edinburgh Fringe film, which was also chosen by the INL News group to be mad einto a feature foilm, beinbg the first feature film to be made out of a fringe play using six cameras to film it at the C Venues and edited from the six different camera angles into a feature film. The idea behind this was to show the potential of turning fringe performances into fetiures film that can be played in cinemas all around the world a sa n alternative to the big budget Hollywood block busters, having captured the spirt and excitement of a fringe performance performed live at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. There is an ever increasing world interest in Fringe performances, however with the large amount of performances every year at fringe festivals around the world and the difficulty of many interested people not being able  to see them live. those interested in this cutting edge theatre, music, dance, comedy and other types of performances would them be able to enjoy fringe performances on film at their local cinema all year round. This way performers at the fringe can receive income all year round from these films and this income can help make up the losses often made by performers coming to the fringe each year in the hope they can recieve some world wide attention and recognition to their performances.
In 2007 during the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe there were in excess of 200 million clicks on web sites associated with the Edinburgh Fringe and Yahoo named the Edinburgh Fringe as one of the highest searched subjects on the internet. This shows there is increasing large world interest in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival which has become the largest Arts Festival in the world.
