held at The Trinity Centre
on Monday 26th May. The event starts at 12:00.
An old hard-working farmer lives alone.
One day, a baby clown accidentally bounces off a passing circus train and is left in the middle of nowhere, separated from family and friends.
A little reluctantly at first, the farmer takes the clown in. As time passes, they discover that by being with each other, they find something new in themselves.
Made with consultation from Deaf Access and Visual Language consultants, Flibbertigibbet Theatre has adapted this picture book by award-winning author and illustrator, Marla Frazee, into a new wordless play for all ages.
Playing without words, the show is accessible to a wide range of audiences. We worked with a Visual Language consultant and Deaf Access Support consultant, to ensure that the physical language created for the storytelling is clear and accessible for all audiences, including those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Anyone who does not speak English can still enjoy the show as language is not an issue.
The story delicately explores themes of loneliness, friendship, and care, across the divisions of age and community.
‘UTTERLY HEARTWARMING AND RELATABLE…. What Flibbertigibbet have created is a beautiful, simple, and charming piece of theatre, suitable for all.” Bristol 24/
