No words. One task. Two clowns.
Rae Colquhoun-Fairweather and Will Bartolo star as two art installers with a simple mission: hang up a piece of art. But what they didn’t plan on, is an audience watching and a live musician scoring their every move. How hard can it be?
Stupid, poetic and deeply funny, Masterpiece promises a clowning experience like no other.
Musical accompaniment by James Tarbotton.
