A tribute to the extraordinary genius of the greatest dramatist in the English language, WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, this minimalist piece of theatre explores the basic premise of existence: Where does Art begin & when does Life end? A poignant account of an old clown, who reminisces about his life – the ridiculous and the sublime - after the final curtain call. Based on a story by ANTON CHEKHOV, this multi-layered portrayal is interspersed with excerpts from some of the major characters of the Swan of Avon's plays. A solo performance of about 70 minutes, it premiered in June 2011, to commemorate the 27th anniversary of THE PHOENIX PLAYERS.
