Bonus Episode: Sarah Verghese of Nouveau Riche
<p>This is the first Bonus Episode of Fringe Benefits Edinburgh with Sarah Verghese of Nouveau Riche and Sarah Verghese Productions.</p> <p>Molly had so many insightful and interesting conversations in the making of Fringe Benefits Edinburgh, often going beyond the Fringe. She had to leave so much of it on the editing floor, or rather, a computer hard drive, during the series. So she decided to release Bonus Episodes.</p> <p>This is the extended interview Molly had with Sarah, talking about theatre, how it's easy to make it accessible, and more. Some of this you have heard before, but much of it will be brand new to listeners. </p> <p>If you are enjoying this series please tell a friend.

5: Seeing Yourself on Stage
<p>Through Niamh, Hannah, and everyone we have spoken to, we have established Fringe is hard even if everything lines up perfectly, and especially when it doesn’t. But what if you are disabled in a city of hills? Or you have to deal with racism on top of putting on a daily show. What is the Fringe like for you? In the penultimate episode, we are going to hear from two artists facing those challenges and what they are doing to meet them.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href='https://www.edfringe.com/take-part/putting-on-an-accessible-show'>The Fringe Society's page on making your show more accessible. </a></p> <p><a href='https://www.euansguide.com/'>Euan's Guide</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.thestage.co.uk/news/nouveau-riche-highlights-racism-at-edfringe-as-part-of-open-letter'>Nouveau Riche's full statement on The Stage's website </a></p> <p> </p> <p>If you like this episode please like and follow wherever you listen and give us a five-star rating or tell a friend!
