About the show
Written by Justin Butcher, Scaramouche Jones is performed by Thom Tuck at the Big Yurt. On Millennium Eve, a hundred-year-old clown comes offstage after his final ever performance to tell the story of his life — epic, hilarious and tragic. Thom Tuck, known for Penny Dreadfuls, Horrible Histories and Play What I Wrote, presented this play at the Fringe in 2005 and 2015, and plans to revive the piece every decade as he approaches the age of the character. The show runs for 75 minutes and is suitable for ages 14 and above.
Why see this show?
A rare piece of theatrical storytelling — Thom Tuck inhabits a hundred-year-old clown with humility and wisdom over 75 gripping minutes. Seeing it now carries extra meaning as Tuck returns to it decade by decade.
