The Clowns
a new play in development by Gino Dilorio
Adeline and Phinny have been clowns together for many years, a couple on and off the circus stage. But time waits for no man, and a new clown joining their circus shakes up their old ways. Gino’s play is funny, sweet, wistful, with strong, proud characters. I am very much looking forward to this first reading, an expansion of the short Clowns Alley I directed in 2018.

“Bunch of crazy people running this thing. The riggers, the wires, even the front yard people, that’s the real freak show. All that stuff about people running away with the circus, it’s all true. Everybody running away from something. Or somebody.” (Phinny)
