Synopsis
About the Show
Born to circus folk preferring trapezing over parenting, Felix grows up alone. Surviving extraordinary encounters and heart-breaking experiences, the clown - the Buffoon - is born.
Now Felix is stepping into the spotlight to perform his unique but universal life-story; searching for family, self and love.
Award-winning Canadian playwright and novelist, Anosh Irani’s darkly funny, deeply human solo-show.
Love, loss and the magic of clowning
Buffoon is a European premiere and the inaugural production of Aisha Khan Productions – a bold new producing company dedicated to premiering international contemporary theatre telling stories rarely seen or heard in the UK.
The solo role of Felix will be performed by Daniel Weyman, known for his role as Gandalf/The Stranger in Amazon Prime's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
