THE TEARS OF A CLOWN

Manhattan, 1974. As far back as he can remember, hoodlum Donnie always wanted to be a clown. Boob-loving playboy? Comedian? Or cold blooded murderer with a stand up routine to die for? You decide. Thirty four years and ten months is a long time. It’s a lifetime. Particularly when you’ve been convicted of crimes you didn’t commit and cleared of the ones you did... Produced at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, The Tears Of A Clown is the tale of Donald James DiMaggio, a time served convict trying to put perspective on the sequence of events that robbed him of his adulthood.
