C Takes Over Failed Venue One of the most established Edinburgh Fringe venues, C Venues, is to take over a venue which failed spectacularly last year. The Odeon Cinema on South Clerk Street, which last year ran as Pod Deco and crashed with debts (including money owed to performers) reported to be in the region of £100,000, will this year be C Electric, the fifth C venue, joining C itself (the main venue in Adam Street), C2 (St Columba's by the Castle), C o2 (Oxygen Bar, Infirmary Street) and C Central (on North Bridge). Among the shows scheduled for the new venue will be The Tragedy of Richard Duke of York (taken from Henry VI parts 1 and 2), Guys and Dolls, F***ing Asylum Seekers, Lee Harvey Oswald - the Musical, Oleanna, Macbeth and Terence McNally's Corpus Christi. "I don't know what went wrong last year, but we are only doing it because we think it will be a success," said C Venues director, Hartley Kemp. "It is a beautiful building and it would be a shame if it were not used." The C programme, it is claimed, is the largest theatre programme on the Fringe, with over 170 shows from 140 companies, 110 UK premieres, 100 theatre shows and 14 children's shows. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
