"A vibrant celebration of pop culture and queerness."
Assembly’s Spiegeltent is transformed into an abandoned nightclub far into the future for the immersive musical, OSCAR at The Crown.
The show tells the story of the flamboyant Oscar Wilde, an icon in a post-apocalyptic future where fascism has its grip on society.
With injections of catchy songs and imposing choreography, the cast magnetically perform around the audience, which is a high-energy spectacle but is sadly blighted by sound issues and a loss in annunciation. However, this could play into the chaotic vibe of the underground bunker in a dystopian future.
OSCAR at The Crown is a vibrant celebration of pop culture and queerness, and an intriguing show that may just turn out to be one Wilde party.

EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE
For three weeks in August, the city of Edinburgh welcomes an explosion of creative energy from around the globe. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city, presenting shows for every taste. Venues can be anywhere, from existing theatres and concert halls to repurposed spaces like bars, parks, buses and shipping containers. The Fringe street events bring colour, excitement and vibrancy to outdoor areas, free of charge.
From big names in the world of entertainment to unknown artists looking to build their careers, the festival spans every genre of live performance, including theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, a registered charity, is the company that organises the structure that underpins the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The level of commitment required for such an undertaking would not be possible if it weren’t for the enthusiasm of the people of Edinburgh, combined with the longstanding support of our audiences, sponsors, supporters and the goodwill of the Fringe Friends and Angels.
The Fringe Society strives to provide support that exceeds participant and public expectations, and we ask you to join us in supporting this challenge. Every penny you give makes a difference, helping us to develop the services we provide for performers and audience.
There are a number of ways of supporting the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, from one-off donations to becoming a Fringe Friend.
