The Farmer & The Clown is a family show adapted from the children's book by Marla Frazee. As the show is performed without dialogue, I embraced the challenge of creating a prompt copy using images from the book and adding detailed blocking to allow for accurate cueing. It toured around the southwest of England in the spring of 2024 and is touring further afield in the spring of 2025.
