"A Clown's Tale" is set in Madame Claudette's Shadow Circus of 1915, this stirring play follows the life of a foundling infant who grew up to be known as the "Prince of Clowns." Alfie's life is narrated by the Bearded Lady, who offers us an insightful philosophy of life. Meet dynamic characters such as the Fortune Teller, Madame Claudette herself, and the refined young woman, Nedda, who is running away from a dark past. Nedda and Alfie become a popular circus act and live peacefully. However, Alfie's family is threatened ten years later by the villainous mobster Olympia. Nedda's past and future collide, and she must decide to return to the mob-in exchange for the safety of her daughter, Calliope. This tale provides powerful and dynamic acting roles for all actors.
