The Farmer and the Clown

Presented by Front Room

Home. You know where it is when you’re there.  

An old, hard-working farmer lives alone.

A baby clown bounces off a passing circus train in the middle of nowhere, now separated from family and friends.

Unsure what to do, the farmer takes the clown home.

Can a friendship span the generations? Can old dogs learn new tricks? Can the young clown find its way home?

The Farmer and The Clown is a story of an unexpected friendship for all ages, told through physical comedy and dance, and performed with an original live soundtrack by JOW.

“Great entertainment for 0-100 years. Makes you laugh and tugs at the heartstrings. ”
