Doppelgangster’s Top 10
Shows To See at Sydney Fringe ’17
From 25 Sep-14 Oct Doppelgangster will be performing PUNTILA/MATTI (the first week of which will be at rebellious festival: Sydney Fringe).
Great! You scream and then violently claw at your credit card to book tickets.
And yet you can’t see PUNTILA/MATTI 24hrs a day so what else is there to do?
There’s 88 pages of the guide to get through in the month long festival.
And so now Tobias (Australia), Tom (UK), and Grace (Germany) to assist in you not thinking for yourself…
