The Farmer and The Clown

Home.
You know where it is when you’re there.
An old hard-working farmer lives alone.
A baby clown bounces off a passing circus train in the middle of nowhere, now separated from family and friends. Unsure what to do, the farmer takes the clown home.

Can a friendship span the generations? Can old dogs learn new tricks? Can the young clown find its way home?
The Farmer and The Clown is a story of an unexpected friendship for all ages, told through physical comedy and dance, and performed with an original live soundtrack by JOW.

“What Flibbertigibbet have created is a beautiful, simple, and charming piece of theatre, suitable for all.” Bristol 24/7

“…absolutely beautiful. I LOVED it! Beautiful performance and gorgeous music. Touched and delighted” Emma Rice, WISE CHILDREN

“Great entertainment for 0-100 years. Makes you laugh and tugs at the heartstrings. “
