If you liked The Number 14, Leaky Heaven Circus, Izzy the Clown, and Little Shop of Horrors, just wait until 39... And Ticking comes to a theatre near you!
Full Figure Theatre is in the process of creating this exciting new production, a combination of the heightened genres of clown and musical theatre—think Commedia Dell’Arte meets Little Shop of Horrors—as an exploration of the importance of truth.
Sharon Heath, artistic director of Full Figure Theatre has brought together a group of incredibly talented artists working together on 39… And Ticking!
The artists involved include Sharon Heath, writer; Ted Hamilton, composer; Joan MacLean, composer; Lisa Bunting; Beverley Elliott; Barb Tomasic; and Colleen Winton.
39… And Ticking! captures a woman facing her biological clock loud and clear. What cost procreation and at what risk? The musical starts on line and goes way off kilter when the man she falls for has 2 kids already. A Chorus of Clowns represents her inner thoughts. Jealousy and heartache abound alongside music, dance and a lot of clowning, wrenching and rich.
