Jon Davison’s production brings together an international bunch of Citizens of Nowhere to be what everyone knows clowns are: funny, stupid, ridiculous, chaotic laughter-objects for our entertainment.
And if you don’t laugh, they will apologise and leave the stage, having no creative agendas of their own, no pretensions to be recognised as artists.
