The Fruity Prince review – Edinburgh Festival Fringe ★★★☆☆
The cast of The Fruity Prince find themselves facing an uphill struggle – they’ve got, to be blunt, a terrible time slot, in a difficult to find venue.
The slot is at 11.05 pm, the venue is The Vault at Paradise Green – the lowest floor of cellars underneath Augustine’s Church on the George IV Bridge.

Background
The show is a piece of theatre with songs – modern, recognisable pop tunes, with lyrics re-written to fit the narrative.
The story is a historical Alternate Universe, which may have some truth to it. Elizabeth I was, infamously, ‘The Virgin Queen’. But how true was this in reality? And what if Good Queen Bess had had a son?

Narrative

Why Rishi Sunak can’t weaponise the ECHR
One of the major themes of the current election campaign is the attempt by Rishi Sunak to draw a dividing line between the Tories and Labour on the issue of immigration, particularly when it comes to the Rwanda scheme. Today, the Conservative party sought to highlight the issue in its manifesto.
The manifesto claims a Conservative government would: ‘stop the boats by removing illegal migrants to Rwanda’, ‘stop illegal migrants bringing spurious legal challenges’ and ‘work with other countries to rewrite asylum treaties’. It also repeated a slogan that Sunak had previously trailed at the first televised debate with Keir Starmer that ‘if we are forced to choose between our security and the jurisdiction of a foreign court, including the Europea
