History
Originating in 1995, in association with the Dublin Theatre Festival, the Dublin Fringe Festival, known as “the fringe” of the theatre festival was created to promote the work of smaller theatre company productions. The Dublin Fringe Festival’s current director Roise Goan joined the team in 2008, taking over from Wolfgang Hoffmann. The Dublin Fringe Festival’s first year as an independent festival was in 2006. Notable successes of past Fringe Festivals include Conor McPherson, Mark O’Rowe, and Enda Walsh.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“A great proportion of the inhabitants of the Cape are always thus abroad about their teaming on some ocean highway or other, and the history of one of their ordinary trips would cast the Argonautic expedition into the shade.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
