STORYTELLING THEATRE AT ITS BEST - TACIT THEATRE PRESENTS SCARAMOUCHE JONES AT THE NEW RED LION THEATRE

Tacit Theatre presents a piece of story-telling theatre at its very best with its production of Scaramouche Jones, by Justin Butcher.
A full length play for one actor, Scaramouche Jones tells the life- story of a 99 year old clown in his own words and bears witness to some of the pivotal moments of the 20th century.

The Theatre Delicatessen space has been turned into a circus tent, into which comes the eponymous Scaramouche Jones, a charismatic 99 year-old clown with a wealth of stories to tell from his journey through the ups and downs of the twentieth century.

We meet our narrator as the festivities begin on millennium eve, his 100th birthday, and the night of his final and most important performance. He relates his birth at the turn of the 20th century in Portof-Spain, Trinidad, tells of his childhood in slavery, his rambling across Saharan Africa, his gypsy life in Milan, his role as a concentration camp grave-digger and his eventual arrival in London, the home of his mysterious English father. Along the way he meets a spectrum of characters, each with their own profound effect on his life.

Under the direction of Jon Constant, Tom Daplyn, Tacit's Artistic Director, plays Scaramouche. The production, which has been in development for nearly two years, features original music from resident composer Sarah Bodalbhai

Saw the first half of 2 piano 4 hands at the Kings theatre today in Edinburgh. My husband fell asleep so spared him the second half. My daughter added that its a good play to see if you want to be lulled to sleep.

An odd concept for a theatre production this play/musical was based on the experiences of the inner circles of piano students and the only props were 2 pianos with screens behind them and the piano stools.

The action was Laurel and Hardy type humour with a lot of slapping and annoying each other, which i enjoyed, but the script was just too full of piano speak, interesting if you play the piano and are familiar with the terms and composers.

Its a 4/10 from me, or a D flat minor.
