Circus Calamitous
Advertisement
The “World’s Greatest Showman” (his words) Rex Bartholomew brings his internationally renowned, award-winning, world-famous circus to the grandest of venues. Except that he doesn’t, because a clerical error means the circus performers have gone to the wrong address and are 100 miles away.
The only people left in the company are Rex himself and his put-upon stagehand Darren … so the two of them will have to put on the show themselves! Rex and Darren need to do all the juggling, fire-eating, lion-taming, bullet-catching, the lot.
Circus Calamitous brings you mishaps, squirting water, custard pies, audience participation and a cameo from the only member of the circus troupe that remained on site … Leslie the Lion. Drawing on traditions of circus, pantomime and classic comedy, it’s a circus that goes very wrong.
