Of all the non-traditional spaces hosting performances hosting Fringe Festival performances, none was more…uhm, Fringey, than the one obtained by Solas Nua, a young arts organization devoted to modern Irish culture and DC’s go to source for all the latest in Enda Walsh plays. For their Fringe presentation, La Corbiere-Anne La Marquand Hartigan’s poetic drama about a boatload of French whores whose travel plans go awry (as they so often do), Solas Nua sought to stage the drama in the fountains at Meridian Hill Park. That’s in, not “at.”

All was hunky dory for the troupe until about this time last week, when the National Park Service finally came to understand what preposition was in play and put the bureaucratic kibosh on the enterprise. It could be reasonably argued that the Park Service did not want to see Solas’ actresses succumb to whatever pfisteria-type monsters swim unseen in the fountain (or at least didn’t want to expose themselves to the attendant liability), but with two weeks before the performance was to start, and with funds recently sunk in the printing of postcard-sized advertising for the show, it left directors Michael Dove and Linda Murray and their cast in a tough spot.

Which is why it pleases us to report that an alternative venue has been found and the show is going on. DCist was contacted by both Dove and Murray, who tell us the La Corbiere will be performed at the Georgetown Outdoor Pool at 34th Street and Volta Place, NW. As planned, the show will run from Thursday, July 27 through Sunday, July 30 with performances at 9 p.m. So, go and get wet, Fringe fans.
