Flibbertigibbet presents The Farmer and The Clown
Can a friendship span the generations? Can old dogs learn new tricks? Can the young clown find its way home?
A story of unexpected friendship told through physical comedy and dance adapted from the charming picture-book by author and illustrator Marla Frazee.
An old hard-working farmer lives alone. One day, a baby clown accidentally bounces off a passing circus train and is separated from his family and friends.
