Stagecraft! Whimsy! Plenty of very funny and surprising bits and gags. I’m a lover of clowns so this was right up my alley. Plenty of simple but effective props which I loved. As much as a sumptuous set is wonderful to look at, the limitations of a sparser setup add so much to the creativity of a production. I was actually a bit touched at the end, when the show turned more earnest. The cost of masculinity is the loss of meaningful relationships. Some moments felt a bit long, and some gags repetitive if you’re not a big fan of clowning. The show also ended 10 minutes early which is always nice when you have a full schedule.
