Juncture Theatre

A bare-knuckle look at the sharp edge of funny, A Little Nonsense is an original black comedy that explores the clown inside every man and the mirth that is hidden in melancholy.

Bitterly frustrated by a clown's freedom to play and inability to take life seriously, a man has taken it upon himself to teach this clown a lesson and beat some sense into him. Through mime, slapstick, poetry and music, A Little Nonsense follows the farcical, haunting and abstract relationship of this unloving and tortured double-act and celebrates the importance of having light and shade within our lives.

A Little Nonsense draws on the melancholy and slapstick of Buster Keaton, the frustrations of language in Samuel Beckett, and the wry wit of Spike Milligan to create a unique and ballsy dark comedy in which the audience is led between moments of hilarity, violence and dark surrealism.
