A fast-paced dark comedy about a rodeo clown chasing dreams after disaster.
The play follows Dale, a rodeo clown determined to become a cowboy, as he grapples with the aftermath of a fire that has destroyed the rodeo he loves. As the story unfolds, questions of responsibility and identity surface, with Dale navigating ambition, denial, and the pressures of chasing an ideal. The narrative moves quickly, blending absurdity with emotional stakes as the mystery of the fire intertwines with Dale’s personal journey.
Created by Xhloe Rice and Natasha Roland, recipients of multiple Edinburgh Fringe First Awards, the production combines physical performance with dark humor. The work juxtaposes theatrical playfulness—such as staged effects and prop-driven moments—with themes of heartbreak, aspiration, and consequence.
