Whose Faulty Vision

Fringe Report: Warrior Clowns

This is the second Fringe Festival in a row where I’ve seen a one-person clown show in which the clown plays a person with a mundane life who escapes from that life with dreams of being a much-mythologized historical warrior. You wouldn’t think that would be a particularly common type of show, would you? Last year, it was Musashi, this year, Joan of Arc.

And no, it wasn’t the same clown, and I doubt very much the two shows were connected in any way, considering that the two performers were from different continents.
