The Prague Fringe Festival was established just three years ago, but the history of fringe festivals goes back to 1947 in Edinburgh. At the time some of the performers were not allowed to perform at the city's larger official festival. In response they established their own "fringe" performances. Today the idea has spread to about 50 towns around the world, mostly in English speaking countries. In Prague too it is dominated by the English language and is popular with the city's English speaking community. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/4f5197446b1f6808606b2a0aab5e5a67.png?timestamp=1583150525 https://english.radio.cz/language-no-barrier-prague-fringe-festival-8630874 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
