For lazy readers in search of potted Harry Potter or digestible Dickens, the Edinburgh Fringe has the perfect shortcut to instant literature. Whether galloping through Oliver Twist in minutes or storming through the boy wizard?s adventures in an hour, the world?s largest arts festival is tailor-made for the short attention span generation. Playing to packed houses of children eager to pick up on their every mistake, actors Dan Clarkson and Jeff Turner have condensed the seven Potter books into a parody of J.K. Rowling?s saga. For inspiration, the pair even sat writing their script in the same Edinburgh cafe where Rowling claiming state benefits penned the books that turned her into the world?s first dollar billionaire author.
