Little Circus
Elise Harris / PBH's Free Fringe • Professional company
About the show
Little Circus is a free show by Elise Harris, presented through PBH's Free Fringe at the Downstairs Room. Blending theatre, spoken word, comedy, tragedy, poetry and video, it defies easy categorisation — all the genres tossed in a bag. Elise usually does too much, which is almost certainly not enough. Life is a Little Circus and nobody likes clowns. Suitable for audiences aged 12 and over, the show runs for 50 minutes. If you like poetry, theatre, videos, laughing and crying, this may or may not be what you're looking for, but it is a thing.
Why see this show?
Genuinely hard to categorise, Little Circus is the kind of show that rewards going in without expectations. Free to attend, with Elise Harris mixing poetry, performance and video into something that veers between funny and affecting.
