    The Deadline

    Outline

    A dynamic celebration of Film Noir, of thrillers and detective films, peopled by double-crossers, hard-boiled characters, women in peril, and losers. It is a visual feast of clowning and physical theatre, irreverent and moving, comic and heart breaking

    Shifting Sands create a shadowy world of menace and bad luck where nothing is ever quite what it seems. Imagine Raymond Chandler meeting Buster Keaton - with Laurel and Hardy as hitmen.

    THE DEADLINE is clown theatre with an edge, in which the games played are dark and comic.

    Welcome to… Clown Noir!
