Synopsis
We take a fully-rehearsed, 19th-century melodrama masterpiece (which some have called our magnum opus) and insert a random, completely unrehearsed, Clown as the lead. While the clown tries to conjure lines and blocking from a script they haven’t read, the remaining cast will attempt to keep the story on track, resulting in a comedy-of-errors newly created every show. What could go wrong? Only everything. (fringetoronto.com)
