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.

Flibbertigibbet Theatre presents this beautiful wordless story of unexpected friendship through physical comedy, dance and live music. A gentle show, it is suitable for audiences of all ages and needs.

Flibbertigibbet Theatre create new visual and physical theatre to delight, entertain and provoke.

“What Flibbertigibbet have created is a beautiful, simple, and charming piece of theatre, suitable for all.”
