Our favourite show at the Edinburgh Fringe 2004 was by the Chicago based Drinking & Writing, a show in two parts that explores the relationship of drinking to writing, and the relationship of writing to drinking, drawing on the work of well known writer/drinkers and fusing it to personal stories and historical fact. The performance collective, an off-shoot of the Neo-Futurists, are dedicated to the brewing of ideas, events and productions that lead to preserving the spirit and tradition of the drinker/writer. Through productions on stage and in bars, radio, internet, and on the page, The Drinking & Writing Brewery exists to preserve the spirit, fury and devotion of the hard drinking writer and to uphold the rituals of creativity through their passion for the written word. Although unfortunately the show is unlikly to be back in the UK until the next Edinburgh Festival their radio programme is broadcast on the internet on the 5th sunday of every month that has one. Just check out their website for details.
