User:Peaky76/Edinburgh Festival Fringe 1982

The Circuit opened in 1982, situated on a piece of empty ground popularly known as "The Hole in The Ground". This was once the site of a church building (Poole's Synod Hall), which was converted to a cinema, and several years later the new Traverse Theatre would be built on the site.

The Circuit offered a 700 seat marquee auditorium, which hosted, among other things, opera, even though the organisers had been told it was no such place for the artform.

It was the venue where Malcolm Hardee made his debut here as part of The Greatest Show On Legs.
