2009 Edinburgh Fringe
In 2009, 3BUGS had their most successful festival yet with successes of both Ophelia (Drowning) and Baba Yaga Bony Legs.
Ophelia (Drowning) was adapted and directed by Daniel Marchese Robinson and Daniel Pitt from Deborah Levy's Pushing the Prince into Denmark script with excerpts from Shakespeare's Hamlet. It was performed in the swimming pool of the Apex International Hotel, Edinburgh and was inspired by Millias's painting Ophelia. Ophelia (Drowning) received huge press attention after being photographed for The Guardian newspaper on the first day of the festival and sold out every performance. Reviews ranged from 5* from ThreeWeeks, to 4* from The Scotsman, The Telegraph, British Theatre Guide and Fringe Review, with some 3*.
Baba Yaga Bony Legs was written by Polly Tisdall and Sian Warde and told the Russian folk tale, Baba Yaga entirely in the dark and received 4* from ThreeWeeks.

Famous quotes containing the word fringe:
“A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
