The beauty of the Fringe is that anyone and everyone can write and perform a play. Although this is what makes the Fringe great, it is also what can make it hell for an audience. 'Absinthe: The Green Fairy' is a perfect example of amateur actors, writing and performing a play without any merit or skill. The performance is separated into three short stories, all involving a green fairy called Absinthe. There is very little plot, giving the impression that the pieces were initially improvised and have changed very little from their original form. The acting from all involved is both wooden and static, with poor enunciation leading to unintelligible dialogue. A performance to avoid at all costs.
