Edinburgh B&B: Hollywood legend comes to Fringe

Legendary Hollywood writer Budd Schulberg has been announced as travelling to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival which will be a major attraction for people staying at an Edinburgh B&B.

The 94-year-old writer is coming to see a new production of his story On the Waterfront, which became an iconic Oscar-winning film starring Marlon Brando.

Steven Berkov is set to direct the new theatre version and the performance will run at the Pleasance theatre as part of the Fringe Festival.

Anthony Alderson, Pleasance director, told the Scotsman that they were all "extremely excited" after receiving confirmation that Schulberg is coming over to the Scottish capital.

"I know he has been working with Steven on the play and I believe it is a stage version he wrote around the same time as the screenplay, which makes it very special indeed."

"To have someone with his reputation and history coming over to see the play is fantastic," he added.

Steven Berkov's version of On the Waterfront runs at the Pleasance Grand from July 31st to August 25th which will prove a real treat for theatre lovers staying at an Edinburgh B&B.
