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:
“It is true that this man was nothing but an elemental force in motion, directed and rendered more effective by extreme cunning and by a relentless tactical clairvoyance .... Hitler was history in its purest form.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of the prophets. He saw with an open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it, and had his being there. Alone in all history he estimated the greatness of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
