    Spectacular and dazzling, this circus story is filled with wild characters, hilarious physicality, and plenty of sparks for the imagination! Tons of fun for a large cast and younger actors, the play truly feels alive with energy in a few short pages. And even includes a little bit of a love-letter to the stagehands out there, as we know the show can't go on without them!

    This isn't just a play, its a spectacle, and a fabulous one at that! I love plays that build an image in your mind even as you're reading them and that's what Nora has done here. With a great variety of characters this could be a great piece for a larger cast of both youngsters and and adults alike. Its a show like no other and will make you want to 'roll up, roll up'! For me, it highlights Nora's great gift for creating short plays that offer so much!

    This day at the circus is a fun, fast paced romp under the big top! What a joy it would be to have such a large cast in a ten minute play, better still if they were real life circus performers! This would be spectacular to watch, love it!
