Sisters Down’s experience show cancelled due to ‘lack of support’

They were plagued at the venue by technical problems and double-bookings

Sophie and Emily Potter were selected by the new Keep it Fringe Fund– offering grants to performers facing financial and social barriers.

But, they say a lack of support from the venue forced them to cancel their show.
