[Cancer and Society] Edinburgh Festival Fringe Roundup

Cancer is not one disease but hundreds—not one emperor of maladies but an empire of related conditions sprawling through the human body. Perhaps reflecting that fact, most Edinburgh Fringe Festivals see a glut of shows about cancers of various stripes. Each Fringe exhibits several medically themed shows, dealing with a diversity of conditions from Alzheimer's (2015's It's Dark Outside) to organ donation (Jarlath Regan's impeccably-named Organ Freeman). Nonetheless, shows about other ailments come as single spies; theatrical examinations of cancer come in battalions.
