Neither Here Nor There

Created and hosted by Jo Fong and Sonia Hughes 2019 Touring continues  “A rare experience” Arts Scene Wales  Edinburgh Fringe Festival British Council Edinburgh Showcase This Is Wales - Edinburgh Showcase Summerhall TICKETS 15 - 25th August 7.15pm £10/8 16+ Audience Member “Every year @Summerhallery throws up a show where you are invited to connect to your fellow human and hear their story. This year it is 'Neither Here Nor There'. A genuinely life affirming 90 minutes that everyone should have in their lives.” Jo and Sonia are ‘two middle-aged international provincial artists’. They have questions about how it’s all going, the big unfathomable questions about the world and small questions about the state of your garden. Complexity takes time, it requires multiple voices, many levels of expertise. They’d like you to join the conversation. ———————————————————- Neither Here Nor There started at Chapter in Cardiff.
