Clown, Farce

A Most Pressing Issue


Half Diamond Theatre

A dark satirical comedy that follows four prison workers battling a fire with anything but water. As characters wrestle with existential crises, heartbreak and bureaucracy, an inevitable doom draws ever nearer, forcing this band of misfits to confront their long-forgotten responsibilities. Prepare for full speed, uninterrupted chaos from start to finish as Gaulier-trained clowns and sharp-edged comedians deliver a relentlessly funny tale of love, loss, fear and arrogance. This exciting piece of new writing is eager to push boundaries, electrify audiences and most importantly, make you laugh out loud.
