What Past Productions and Media Are Available from The Fringe Files?

Updated

The Fringe Files is a multi-award winning touring theatre company based in the West of England that has been producing new plays collectively since 2010. Its website, thefringefiles.com, hosts a dated blog archive where you can find production trailers, company history posts, and practical writing guides. The most directly viewable media item documented on the site is a rediscovered DVD trailer from 2011 for The Curse of Miss Fortune.

What the site documents

The blog archive is organized by date and tag, with entries running back through the company's history. Three recent posts illustrate the range of material available:

Post Date Tag

A Decade of The Fringe Files: Founder Michael Starr Looks Back December 6, 2024 Thoughts
Rediscovered DVD Trailer from 2011! November 25, 2024 The Curse of Miss Fortune

The archive is paginated — the index shows "Page 1 of 41," so older productions and media are spread across many pages rather than listed in one place.

Productions and media you can look for

  • The Curse of Miss Fortune — the 2011 DVD trailer was rediscovered and reposted in November 2024. The post carries its own tag, which is the fastest way to pull up everything filed under that production.
  • Trailer posts generally — the site labels trailer content as such, so browsing the trailer-related entries is the most direct route to watchable media.
  • Company history material — the founder's retrospective on a decade of The Fringe Files gives context on how the collective's productions developed over time.

How to find more

  1. Open the blog archive on thefringefiles.com.
  2. Use the tag links attached to each post — for example, the The Curse of Miss Fortune tag — to group related entries.
  3. Page through the archive (it runs to 41 pages) to reach earlier productions and trailers.
  4. Check the trailer posts specifically if you want video rather than written commentary.

What to keep in mind

The site presents itself as a working theatre company's blog rather than a streaming or media library, so availability depends on what has been posted and reposted over the years — as the 2011 trailer's rediscovery shows, older material can resurface later. The archive does not indicate pricing, ticketing, or viewing restrictions for any of this content.
