My overall impression

This hilarious and surprisingly deep show tells the tale of 4 archetypal “clowns” – Sad, Mischievous, Angry, and Nervous – as they maneuver childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and death. Between heartbreaking and incredibly human (read= absurd, funny, awkward, erotic) moments, the characters improvise song, interact with the audience, and entice our inner devils. More incredible comedic timing & acrobatic movement than stereotypical white face & polka-dotted pants clowning, this piece is a must-see for lovers of spontaneity, devised-movement theatre, and laughing til you cry.

Run time is a little long at over an hour & 1/2, so plan accordingly. Adult subject matter, not for children.
