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:
“Free from public debt, at peace with all the world, and with no complicated interests to consult in our intercourse with foreign powers, the present may be hailed as the epoch in our history the most favorable for the settlement of those principles in our domestic policy which shall be best calculated to give stability to our Republic and secure the blessings of freedom to our citizens.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.”
—William James (1842–1910)
