Who's that clown in the background?!
The whole team has good reason to be satisfied with the result. The FEATS adjudicator (Tony Rushforth) complimented many aspects of the play's direction (Zuzana). He made positive comments about both actors' performances (David and Steve). He loved the clown's make-up (Helen) and made special mention of the clown's trousers (Judy).
We can be specially proud of the result. Semi-Circle has received several awards in the past but this is the first time Semi-Circle has been among the awards for the top three plays.
Death of a Clown will form part of our autumn 2011 production.
