Pantomime and the Edinburgh Festival

Study note

Pantomime is a traditional kind of comic theatre performed around Christmas, often based on fairy tales and including a 'Dame' played by a man. The Edinburgh Festival, held each summer, is famous around the world, and its Fringe is the largest part.

Memory tip: Pantomime = Christmas comic theatre (with a 'Dame'); the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is in summer.
