As well as all the usual worries – how to pay the rent, where their next meal is coming from, which project they should work on next – the open-access programs of Sydney Fringe Festival (on now until 30 September) and Melbourne Fringe Festival (running from 14 September – 1 October) provide a fascinating overview of broader cultural concerns.  Â
