We’re very sorry to hear of the death yesterday of Professor Peter Higgs, the Edinburgh based theoretical physicist that predicted in 1964 the existence of a fundamental particle of nature that became known as the Higgs Boson.

Our recent Fringe in a Fortnight project matched up three artists with local schools to create and stage three mini-Fringe productions - all within two weeks!
