 Life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel. 

Death of a Clown presents the struggles of a lone Pierrot (tragic clown) as he repeatedly attempts to make his audience, and cardboard friends, laugh with a variety of acts ranging from impressive spectacles to the emotionally impactful. As his failures begin to pile up our Pierrot’s desperation begins to mount, as he tries more outlandish forms of entertainment. In doing so, uncovering the cruelty inherent in theatre and the world of art.

“Theatrically excellent.”- CUE 2016.

Hilariously wonderful, and excellently performed - dark, very sad at times, and funny as hell!
