Elise Harris / PBH's Free Fringe The greatest frustration is not doing everything. Elise usually does too much, which is almost certainly not enough. Is this theatre, spoken word, comedy or tragedy? Yes. And no. Life is a Little Circus and nobody likes clowns. 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. All the genres tossed in a bag. Elise was the winner of BBC Three Upstaged, best actor at The Super Shorts Festival and various other obscure awards that no longer have Wikipedia pages. None Age category: 12+
