Boxing & Clowns: Two shows one evening

About this event

TWO SHOW'S ONE EVENING! BOXING Boxing is a hilarious and moving show about community, hope and small joys. The story follows two characters: Father Garvey, a deeply miserable priest who as almost lost faith in the people he's meant to help and Michael, a troubled young man whose innocence and boundless energy could test anyone's patience. After Garvey takes revenge on his vile neighbour Beryl, it's up to Michael to get them both out of the sticky situation they find themselves in. What unfolds is a darkly comic and heartfelt exploration of connection, redemption and unexpected friendship. Originally staged as part of the Creative Corner Festival to a fantastic response, Boxing is back on the Epstein stage to light it up again. Karaoke is encouraged... CLOWNS Clowns is a hilarious new dark comedy for fans of Martin McDonagh, The Coen Brothers and for all those who wondered: what would a siege at a circus look like? Mittens is an old clown, not particularly funny, and particularly fed up. So fed up, in fact, that he decides to commit an armed burglary. It doesn't go well, and he ends up fleeing back to his travelling circus with the goods. Unlucky for him, two other clowns a young couple named Jessie and Bill are in the tent when he arrives. Unlucky for them, Mittens decides to tie them up. Then, the police arrive. Then, things get worse and worse. A new comedy full of twists and turns, clowns and cops though sometimes it's hard to tell who's who.
