With human vulnerability, No Show went on to win the prestigious
Herald Angel award after taking the Edinburgh Fringe 2017 by
storm. Because even on days when muscles ache and bruises are
glowing, the show must go on, served up with a big, happy smile and
a theatrical flourish!
No Show is the unseen reality that Ellie Dubois brings to the limelight.
“If the battle to perfect those slick, quick moves on dangerous equipment
seems cruelly unrelenting, there’s another challenge and it’s the gender
trap.” - The Herald.
