Martin Fitzgerald's The Umbrella Man at The Edinburgh Fringe

Dallas, 22 November 1963. The main event is supposed to be on Main Street – crowds fifty deep, a blizzard of ticker tape. A few blocks away in Dealey Plaza, the scene is quieter: a handful of people, clear skies. A man with an umbrella. A woman with a polaroid. A dressmaker with vertigo. These are the strange, true stories of the ordinary people who opted out of the main event, only to spend the rest of their lives unable to leave it.
