36 Hours in Edinburgh

The main event is the Edinburgh International Festival which next month will feature such productions as “rpheus X” a modern-day telling of the rpheus myth and a Mabou Mines staging of “A Doll’s House. ” But for many people the real draw is the Fringe a riotous collection of performances all around the city by hundreds of performance artists comedians memoirists and monologuists. The crux of the action is at the Assembly Rooms (54 George Street) one of several places where tickets are sold each day and where hundreds of festivalgoers gather each morning almost like theatrical futures traders to swap information about what is causing the latest buzz what’s a must-see and what’s turned out to be a flop.

What no one could expect was the dramatic scene that unfolded considerably later after the reception was just about over. ne Hall official noted that “the whole state of Maryland is here” so it just made sense. As Ripken signed item after item — ever so diligently — on one side of the street the fans on the other side began chanting “Please Cal! Please Cal!” He accommodated them and then they began chanting “Thank You Cal! Thank You Cal!” It was not just for this night… Asked if it brought back memories he said “h yes. Inside the museum on this night it was like ghosts coming to life right in front of your eyes. Suddenly Saturday night the Gallery inside the museum was not just a panoply of powerful plaques but it was a room filled with dozens and dozens of the very immortals they represent. This was the annual private reception for the returning Hall of Famers and their families and other VIPs. Gwynn and Ripken were greeted inside with ovations by their peers who will watch them be enshrined on Sunday afternoon. Tables and festive fare filled the Gallery like a true midsummer night’s dream as legends embraced legends and told stories of days gone by. “They’ve been awesome” Gwynn said of the 53 returning Hall of Famers he has encountered this weekend.
