LOCKED UP

LOCKED UPSophia Knox-Miller and Cara McClendon, performers, San Francisco. I have more to say about this show, but not the time right now--except to say--go see them! You have one more chance Sunday 9/21 at 7pm! These are two stupid clowns having a lot of fun. More to come...

As promised...Two crazy clowns, made even more insane by their confinement. Tiny and Tall, prisoners in some sort of jail, play beautifully off each other, demonstrating their indispensable need for one another. There is plenty of great play and clown logic--that is to say--things that could only happen in their kooky world that we accept as fact, and happily go along for the comical ride. Props have multiple uses in that way that only clowns have of transforming them. I wonder what crimes they had committed to warrant their incarceration, but in the end it doesn't really matter at all. The world they create through uncomplicated and cockamamie clowning emanates from a generosity of spirit that makes us laugh from beginning to end.
