    A hilarious short about the difficulties of relationships, and the misunderstood artist.
    Beneath a clown's makeup there's just more clown.

    A wildly fun comedy of situational and physical comic absurdity--but at the heart, a married couple fighting for the understanding and connection needed to save their relationship. A delight of a short play.

    This play is inspired lunacy! It’s the kind of comedy you want to see in a serial format. I also would love to find out what the therapist has in store for this clown couple once the smile wears off—and I mean that literally. I think this short comedy also has a lot to say about not caring what others think and rediscovering the lost spark in a marriage. Fantastic script!
