Scaramouche Jones Penrith Playhouse August 17-19
This stunning one-man show will have audiences shedding tears of laughter and sorrow.
The strangely pale-faced child of a gypsy, Scaramouche was always fated to be a clown.
But from his birth, at midnight on New Year’s Eve 1899 in a dingy Trinidad knocking shop, his life has been a vivid odyssey through extraordinary adventures, crumbling empires and the darkest episodes of the 20th century.
Now, as the champagne corks fly on Millennium Eve, Scaramouche is about to give his last and most important performance.
He steps out from the circus ring, peels away his outer disguises and reveals the loves brutalities, ecstasies and tragedies that created the seven white masks of Scaramouche Jones.
Running at the Penrith Playhouse August 17 to 19, 7.30pm.
Tickets are £12/£10 available from Penrith Tourist Information, www.penrithplayers.org.uk or on the door
A play by Justin Butcher.
