		Bumper programme for Made in Scotland 2010 announced

The Made in Scotland showcase returns presenting some of the finest Scottish work at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

This year’s programme promises to be just as exciting showcasing 14 companies and artists representing an eclectic and diverse programme of dance, theatre, site-specific performance and work for children.
